Hey Frank

I think it confuses things to call rjdj the same as Pd-vanilla.  It is  
not.  It is another distro of Pd, like Pd-extended, but it is much  
smaller and closer to Pd-vanilla.  rjdj does not have expr, IIRC,  
which is definitely part of vanilla.  rjdj cannot load externals,  
which is part of vanilla.  rjdj includes the nice rj feature  
extraction externals, and specific modifications for getting data from  
the touchscreen and accelerometer.  Those are definitely not in vanilla.
