There is no [tclpd] object as far as I know. tclpd is a "loader" library that is loaded automatically at start by the new 'startup' mechanism in Pd-extended 0.43. To use it, try out one of the examples in the Help Browser -> tclpd -> examples. Or try downloading the 'tclfile' library and dropping it into ~/pd-externals. You can see the Tcl script that made the open by right-clicking and selecting Open. .hc
