I found a few example pd patches in the mail list archive in what looks like a raw text format, similar to when a max patch is saved as text. I copy and pasted the text into notepad (working on windoze currently!) and I saved this file with the extension *.pd. Unfortunately when I try to open them in pd the file selector doesnt show them.
You did right, it's what I do (on Linux) all the time. But I remember from quick-editing html pages at work with Notepad, that this sh*ty little program puts a ".txt" suffix on every file it edits. So you could either:
a) use a real text editor like Vim (vim.org) or b) closely examine the saved file in the Explorer (with "show endings for known file types" or so turned ON) and rename it to somefile.pd
This should help.
