[PD] Mutiple instances of a patch at startup.

Thu Dec 14 03:49:32 CET 2006

It's a bug... I made a decision to slightly simplify the code by reusing
the "path" mechanism to open files from command line - but 'path' does,
appropriately, suppress duplicates and I'd have to carry one additional
flag around to do everything exactly right.  I honestly didn't think anyone
would ever _want_ do do this.

Anyway, here's a workaround:

  pd -send "pd open z.pd /home/msp/pd/src" \
     -send "pd open z.pd /home/msp/pd/src"
     ... etc to your heart's content...

cheers
