...when I right-click on a new canvas window the only options that come up 
in my context menu are "Properties", "Open" (greyed-out), and "Help"

>try "Help"
****************************


actually, when I open a brand new window and right-click to get my context 
menu, clicking "Help" does nothing at all (not even any sort of message in 
the PD main window (DOS))

I guess from reading the tutorial, it sounded like the right-click menu 
would contain a list of standard objects that I could "put", in much the 
same way that Max/MSP does - is this not the case, or am I doing something 
wrong / missing something? is there a resource out there listing all of the 
objects available in the standard PD distribution, if I'm going to have to 
manually type in the name of an object everytime I "put" it?

I am a new PD user, v0.37.3 on Windows XP... I've been taking a look at
Michal Seta's 2001 PD Tutorial @ 
http://pd.iem.at/pdwiki/index.php?PdTutorialOverview, and I've run into an 
obstacle - the text of the tutorial reads:

"Right-clicking on the canvas opens a new window with an overview of objects
available in the standard pd distribution. This list is divided into several
sections such as audio objects, midi, control, glue, math etc."

...just like MAX, right? well, when I right-click on a new canvas window the
only options that come up in my context menu are "Properties", "Open"
(greyed-out), and "Help"

where are my objects? any assistance out there?

thanks!!
