I read:

my Pd is on Fedora Linux and i am pretty new to it. i don't quite understand this. i can't seems to locate this file/binary/script.
it's not there by defaultm it's a file in /home/username_who_runs_pd/ (where cd at the shell prompt takes you) it's a textfile you have to put there and basically you can put pd command line options in there you want to have run everytime
ok, i understand this bit now.
The tilde "~" is just a shortcut for your HOME directory, wherever that is. It normally is /home/your_username but that doesn't have to be so. That's why people just call it "~". You can use that shortcut on the command line and in many applications, for example in Pd's "Open file" dialog. Just type "~" into the "File name" fiels, press ENTER and you're home.
not quite understand the syntax of the script below:( i got a fedora book and in it there is a format of
[sonicvariable@localhost sonicvariable]$ cat .pdrc . . . [sonicvariable@localhost sonicvariable]
would this also work?
Now I don't understand this. "cat" just prints the contents of a file to your shell. "cat" can be abused as text editor, but normally you'd use a real text editor for it.
i have tried making a script this way but keeps the rest of the script the same as you have below apart from the actual file paths. but i got 'permission denied '?
You don't need a script. Just do a "editor ~/-pdrc" with "editor" some text editor (many distributions, e.g. Debian provide an editor as "editor" program.
