Hi, it seems OS 10.5 does not like everything that is called "help" or "Help" in the menubar, which causes Pd to crash. In pd.tk I replaced all mbar.help with mbar.help2 and -label "Help" with -label "Help!" and it works. This must be a bug in OS X 10.5, since the above should not be necessary. it's a bad hack... maybe there is a better solution. marius.
