Thanks.  OK, another dumb question:  Puredata.org still has 0.39.3 as 
the most recent version.  Where is the more recent version available, 
pre-compiled for OSX Intel 10.4 or later?

D'oh!  I love it when a dumb question has a nice simple answer.

"Why do newbies have hunched shoulders and flat foreheads?"  "Because 
when they try to figure out something themselves, they go <hunch 
shoulders>, and when you tell them the answer they go <hit forehead with 
heel of hand>."

I hope my new dumb question above is similarly trivial.
