Thanks for that, I don't think I would have found that out by myself.
I'm just reading on hexloader right now. From what I understand, it allows the loading of library objects with (among other characters) "~" in their name.
hexloader allows to load externals whose name contains anything bbut A-Za-z0-9. (trailing) "~" is about the only non-trivial character that Pd had always supported in externals, the problem is more along the lines of "*". (so you got a detail wrong, but i guess you figured the greater image).
Does anyone know why it was decided that it should not load by default? I'm a bit puzzled, because not having it loaded by default seems to break a number of help patches.
i haven't decided to not include it, but as the main author of the hexloader patch i know that there are some issues when it comes to loading of abstractions.
