[PD] [PD-dev] Scheme-for-Pd, how to release beta versions, call for testers

[Peter P.]

Hi Iain,

thank you for this port-amazing!

I need to add the scm directory to Pd's path to avoid the error messages 
	s4pd.scm: can't open
	test.scm: can't open
when opening s4pd-help.pd.
You could try adding a [declare -path ../scm] object to the help patch
perhaps (untested)?

Furthermore when trying the hello world example from s4pd-help.pd the
brackets seem to be posted in a separate line in the Pd window, like this
	s4pd: "hello world!"
	s4pd> ()
Is this intentional?

thanks again!
P
