I just tried this with vanilla pd-0.42.5 on WinXP. [midiout] and [sysexin] both work despite the warnings. You need to send a multiple message like [240, 1, 2, 3, 247( although sometimes just sending the individual characters works too.
On pd-extended-0.42.5 [midiout] only sends the start and end sysex status, no message. Maybe because extended isn't using portmidi? Shouldn't [midiout] be renamed to [sysexout]? It only does sysex, you can't send any other kind of MIDI message with [midiout].
