yes, feel free to add it :-)

yes of course.
however it was too complicated for my limited knowledge of tcl/tk and time.

again my limited skills!
btw, "pd_startup" and "pd_path" _are_ list references.
i just didn't bother how to add elements of a global list variable as

the good thing is that with my patch, at least the infrastructure at the 
C-side is independent of the number of paths.


just take my code and modify it to your needs.
