thanks martin .. tried it ...little joy ..i have to fix it first.. 
one more question though.. are you sure the [mrpeach/updrecieve] is included in the mac osx version.. or does it need the GEM library ? apart from the gem library, pd loads all the included
libraries on this machine. But it wont create a [mrpeach/updrecieve] object.. any clue to what
is wrong here would be magnificient..

best

alexandre
