Robbert,
You won't be able to see a "." (dot file, files whose names begin with a period) because the system hides them from users. This is also a file that you need to create on your own, as PD does not create one by default. In creating one of these files you can type the following:
terminal_prompt> echo > .pdrc terminal_prompt> open -a XCode .pdrc
the first line (typing everything AFTER the 'terminal_prompt>') will create a new file named '.pdrc'. Be sure that you are working from your home directory as that is where PD expects to find this. The second line will open the file in XCode. I don't know of any other way to open these files on the Mac, as these sorts of things are considered to be Unix configuration files, and as such, and hidden from the user. Also, note, that on subsequent editings of this file, make sure that you do not re-enter the first line, as this will overwrite what is already there.
As far as the XML configuration files, I have stuck with using the .pdrc file, but I have heard that this method will be depreciated (is that true?), so I wonder if you should stick to learning the XML method.
