I'm new to PD, am using 0.37 on a Dell 1.6 Ghz PM running XP (Pro) and I am constantly opening patches to find 3-6 Comment boxes (with the word 'comment' in it) suddenly appearing in randome places on the patch. I delete them, save the patch (or 'save as'), open it again, and there they are... tenatious little beasts. Does anyone know how to get rid of these?
Thanks,
Christopher

You are not deleting the comments, but you are changing the content of the "comment" comments to be empty (""). Pd warns about this, by filling them with "comment" again after a reload.
You need to actually delete the comments. That is done by not selecting the text inside but by selecting the comment objects. It will be blue afterwards if you do it right. Then delete it.
Or look for empty comments with a text editor: real comment => #X text 119 153 RealComment; empty => #X text 99 115;

you shouldn't delete the text of the comments but rather the whole text-object.
good: select the "comment" so it turns blue but without getting a cursor to edit the text. delete the whole thing at once, either with Ctrl-X or backspace.
bad: click on the "comment" until you get a cursor so you could edit the text and delete it
btw. this is a feature (just to get it right)
