[PD] Send Key Commands to PD w/ -nogui without X (from console)

this might be the best solution for now until i take a look into the
shell scripting you suggested. although, how to make it all on one
line (one command). Variations in this:

megrimm-mbp:~ megrimm$ (pd -open netreceive-help.pd &) ; (pdsend 3000)

fail or me.
