[PD] the "any" object (pd on osx...)

[Marius Schebella]

ok, thank you. I found it now in the extra/iemabs folder, I did not know 
this is just an abstraction... how do I add this path to my 
search-paths? with .pdrc like on linux? the program/package 
pd-0.39test2-extended-RC0 seems to be a kind of packaged file, which I 
cannot access like a usual folder? (maybe because I am not so familial 
with Mac usage in common)
marius.
