Hi
- Besides numbers (floats) an object might accept lists, which can be any
combination of numbers and/or 'symbols' (eg. 'bang' or 'set' etc). There are in addition of course, signal only inlets. 2. for abstractions (a subpatch saved as a file) reference it by typing its name into an object without the '.pd' suffix or with the preceding 'pd' identifier. Ie. your example should simply be "file" rather than "pd file.pd". A 'one-off' subpatch (saved in its parent rather than to file) is created when you type "pd name" into an object - when this is done, a new window pops up in which you can add the contents of the patch.
see: http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Pd_documentation/index.htm for examples and more detail.

Dear friends,
I feel very embarassed to post the following questions after all these years, but I still don't know whether I'm doing something wrong or some features I was expecting are missing:
I was not able to shove a bang down an inlet - what does an inlet accept beside numbers?
I was not able to create a subpatch, save it into a file, and create an object with 'pd file.pd' in it (like you can do on Max)
Sorry again
