[PD] Send startup flag on osx

[Miller Puckette]

I think this is because on the Mac when you click-open a patch the OS doesn't
tell Pd about the patch until after Pd is running (so the "send" was already
tried.)  A workaround would be to put the patch as well in the Pd command
line.  I don't know how to fix this in general.

cheers
