hi,
good to hear that pjlink is in use with pd!
resolved it? i'm working on it. i'm controlling several panasonic d5000 projectors at work with pd. it is definitely possible with the shell object but i often must use windows to do pjlink control from ableton with pd and so the shell object doesn't work.
without knowing what pjlink is or what you are trying to achieve:
[system] form the motex library is a [shell] for windows.
it's a bit of a pain to work with, because of the backslash problem and it doesn't output any stdout messages (at least not in my setup), but i use it just to run a prepared .bat file (mostly ffmpeg stuff) that i composed beforehand with the several tools PD provides ([text], [list], [list tosymbol] etc...)
best
