when you run pd, you can send various parameters to it to tell it how to behave. these are called command line arguments or parameters. type in 'pd -help' in the command prompt to see a list.

I am very new with prompt command, so I thank you again for your explanation. So I understand that I can type in the windows prompt ("start" windows menu c:\pd\pd -help) to get a list. But when I do this I the pd folder open, only this.

in order to tell pd to use the zexy library, use the '-lib' command,

so do I have to use the -lib command from the windows prompt ("start" windows menu)

or put

all arguments in a batch file (a text file with the extension .bat) and run that. there are plenty of examples of peoples' command line argument settings on their respective webpages.

firstly - I'm not sure it's a good idea to run pd from within 'program files', I know there was an issue with spaces in the folder names a while ago, not completely sure. best be safe and move whole thing to c:\pd (!) then run:

ok, I put pd in this place

pd -path c:\pd\zexy -lib zexy

same problem, when I type c:\pd\zexy -lib zexy from the windows start menu it only open the zexy folder

this should enable zexy objects to load. if you want the help patches to appear when you right click on them and press help, I managed this by putting the help patches in doc\5.reference\zexy\ but I'm not too sure on the rules of how it finds these.

good luck
