This is an interesting development.  Pd stopped letting me access the "path" and "startup" GUIs, nothing happens when I select them; So I redownloaded and reinstalled elsewhere, and the new pd.exe still tries to read the bins I had selected for the old one, and still won't let me view them.  I searched for .pdrc, but I'll try searching again.

<div>I have zexy working, if I manually open zexy.pd before trying to use any of it.&nbsp; However, I can't figure out how to get Gem to work.&nbsp; I also see now it should be possible for zexy to be loaded automatically so I don't have to open that file first. 
</div>
<div>I'm on WinXP, with Pd 0.38.3.&nbsp; There's a GUI for startup binaries and flags...&nbsp; One odd thing about it is that deleting something from any of these fields, and hitting the Apply and Save Settings buttons over and over has no effect: the commands that didn't work are reinserted when I restart Pd.&nbsp; I can deal with that... 
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>So, if I have gem.dll and zexy.dll in particular locations, shouldn't I be able to paste the entire paths to them in quotes into the &quot;binaries to load on startup&quot;, and it will find them?&nbsp; I also put in the -path and -lib flags suggested in the readmes. 
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I don't fully understand the process&nbsp;Pd goes through.&nbsp; If it can find the .dll, is that all it should need?&nbsp; As of now I get a message for each startup bin saying Pd couldn't load the library.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Also, in reference to .pdrc, what is the syntax for it?&nbsp; Should I just type a bunch of flags into a text editor and save as .pdrc?</div>
