[PD] How do you post a text version of a patch?

[Geoff]

Thanks for confirming the procedure made me realise
that it was because I was saving it as a textfile in textedit then  
changing extension to .pd textedit was somehow messing up the file.

When I used word saved as textfile then change ext to .pd
it worked fine.
cheers
