nice feature, in fact I try it just that way before founding on the list that it needs som shell voodoo with echo and | (the vertical bar)... (I'm currently beginning to try some Aqua/Applescript GUI using pdsend to manipulate PD patch)
i've reverted the cvs version of pdsend to the old behaviour, since it's not really needed ... i'm not into applescript programming at all since i use linux, but it shouldn't be very hard to write a shell script with
echo message to pd; | pdsend 4444 instead of pdsend 4444 localhost tcp "message to pd;"
anyway, if there are some people, who'd like to get this feature, i could publish the changes in the external repository as pdextsend or something like that ... but i prefer you use one of the scripting possibilities, since you won't have to change pdsend for that ... although i have to admit that the script readability is better with the message as command line argument instead of | / echo combinations ...
let me know ... cheers...
