[PD] [Pd] Arbitrary command line arguments

[Chuckk Hubbard]

In the patch:
[receive bajesus]
|
[particular]

In the command line:
pd -open <patch> -send ";bajesus sugar-smacks"
The semicolon makes all the difference.
I also found that it works to say
-send ";bajesus $VAR" inside a bash script, if you're into that kind of
thing.
I have no idea where the message goes if you don't use a semicolon.
