[PD] prevent console error messages

[Jonathan Wilkes]

matju already wrote a class to put console posts inside the 
patch for the user to handle:

If people don't like that design, I'd love to see the code that 
shows a better way to handle errors from within the patch.
However, I don't think you need (or should encourage) 
error-handling inside a patch just to check whether a file 
exists.  There are already externals for that, too.

this should have read:
"because it would require code to be added to all uses of [ŧextfile]
where the error is indeed desired and needed."
