[PD] Externals

[josue moreno]

Hi list,

sorry for this basic question, im trying to add externals to my 0.37 version 
of Pd runing in a Mac OS X 10.3.9 G4

I have to put in the comand line  (-lib xsample) but it doesnt work. Maybe i 
didnt copy the folder in a properly place.

Can anybody explain me step by step how can i do that?


Ive got another two questions:

- my trouble in Max with externals is that i dont know exactly what 
externals ive got(only know the objects if i go to the folders and read the 
documentation) .Is there a way to know the objects and the main function?(im 
looking for something like ctrl-click on the canvas and help that works in 
the distributed version)

- How can i take a patcher that somebody puted on the web as text and load 
in my computer?


Sorry but im a  very beginer.....

Thanks a lot.
