Yes, if you add to a .pdrc the changes will not be updated in the  
org.puredata.pd.plist. You can either edit the plist file manually  
(with the plist editor that ships with Xcodetools or with a text  
editor (and needed be the CLI tool called plutil that can convert  
between plain text and plist)) or add things to it via the panels in  
Pd. For the later see:
