Only the "extra" and "externs" directories are usually used as default search paths. I also think it's a bad idea to include the examples dir into the search path, as most of these files are not intended to be used as abstractions themselfes.
i totally agree.
The author should have included output.pd in his downloadable files, especially as the article is a beginner's article and a beginner cannot be expected to guess which kind of object it is meant to be.
especially since another [output~] is also provided by the iemabs (but with different behaviour).
imho, the author should have used no abstraction at all (there is no pedagogical value to it, like re-using abstractions); and they shouldn't have used spaces in the patch-names.
