My pd.command and my .pdrc look now like this:

#!/bin/sh

-path /usr/local/lib/pd/pd_pidip_osx/abstractions  
-path /usr/local/lib/pd/extra:/usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/abstractions  
-lib /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/pdp  
-verbose

I know that i'm not wheel, i'm Sara ;) or Staff(me). But how did these
permissions wind up there?
And; with chmod can i also change the permissions of a directory and its
contents. [in my osx/unix book in front of me, i don't see this option]

Thanx,
Sara
