[PD] Externals

Hi list,

sorry for this basic question, im trying to add externals to my 0.37 version of Pd runing in a Mac OS X 10.3.9 G4

I have to put in the comand line (-lib xsample) but it doesnt work. Maybe i didnt copy the folder in a properly place.

Can anybody explain me step by step how can i do that?

Ive got another two questions:

• my trouble in Max with externals is that i dont know exactly what

externals ive got(only know the objects if i go to the folders and read the documentation) .Is there a way to know the objects and the main function?(im looking for something like ctrl-click on the canvas and help that works in the distributed version)

• How can i take a patcher that somebody puted on the web as text and load

in my computer?

Sorry but im a very beginer.....

Thanks a lot.
