Your try is almost correct. You can find out the possible pd messages
by looking at pd patches with a text editor, but they also are
described here:

 http://pd.iem.at/pdwiki/index.php?PdInternalMessages

or in the pure-data.sf.net CVS repository.

connect has the following syntax:

connect object-number ob.-outlet-number ob.-number ob.-inlet-number

xlet- and object-numbers start counting at 0!

So if you create a metro:

 obj 10 40 metro

and a float: 
 
 obj 10 60 f

you can connect these with:

 connect 0 0 1 1

like this:

  [metro]
   \
 [f ]

I.e. connect metro's first outlet (==0) with the second inlet (==1) of
the float.

BTW: there also is "disconnect obj in obj out"
