thanks for the quick reply again martin,

it's a strange problem that i seem to be having.
because i definitely have all the midifiles in the same folder as the patch but

[midifile test.mid]
...or...
[read test.mid(---[midifile]
gives... 'error: midifile: unable to open test.mid'

but when i do
[bang]---[openpanel]---[read $1(---[midifile]
and point it to 'test.mid' it seems to work?

hmmmm...
unfortunately for what i want to do i need to be able to automate opening 
different midifiles.
i'm using your zip from 
http://puredata.info/Members/martinrp/midifile/midifile.zip/view


thanks again in advance!

Just 
like 
that.
Or 
send 
a 
message 
or 
symbol 
containing 
the 
path 
to 
the 
[read 
$1( 
message.
It's 
probably 
easier 
if 
all 
the 
files 
are 
in 
the 
same 
directory 
as 
the 
patch.
