Hmmm
I know it does not work in 0.39, but in 0.38 it should be fine. I use it on OSX as well!!
so try this:
[set hello, bang< | [entry] | [print]
you should see "symbol hello" in the console.
Do you??

I'm using the debian package for 0.38-4 and it works fine.

It sounds like your sending a message not possible in PD, could you sendhttp://www.axis.chttp://www.axis.com/products/cam_207/om/products/cam_207/ me an example snip that is causing the issue?
...hmm: all I'm doing is opening help-entry.pd, clicking on one of the messages, then banging the entry box, with the expectation that something will be printed to console, but it never does...as a matter of fact, I have no idea what the example/help patch outputs are supposed to do, since they don't seem to do anything no matter what message I input in the help patch...
Everything typed into [entry] must be valid as what is typed in a messagebox. here are a few examples: -> means results in
hello -> symbol hello whats up -> list whats up 10 -> 10 0.0000001 -> 1e-07 "hello" -> symbol "hello" " hello " -> list " hello " ; test hello -> send [r test] hello {hello} -> symbol {hello} \n -> symbol n
since there is no string type this seemed the most logical way to do things
I've also used it with [tosymbol] but I don't have that external on this machine here...
I fear the text you are entering may have symbols giving PD, and therefore entry, trouble. :(
...I fear it's just an osx thing, so I'm looking for other solutions...
