hmmmm... i guess i didn't rtfm... don't remember exactly what i did, but
deleting the prefs file now did the trick. that seems to mean it wasn't
ignored, but anyway, it works now.

thanks! .pdrc works for startup flags. for loading libs, you don't specify a
path? the embedded prefs don't either. does that have to do with the fact
that it's embedded (maybe i'm asking more than i need to know / will
understand).

thanks for the patience!
