Thank you for this news!! The youtube was excellent in explaining some things aswell! I should know better but I am not using the command line so much in the win7 machine i am on, should i write "LANG=pt c:/program/pd/pd-extended" The folder pd is installed at is program/pd but seems i have some problems with the syntax... should it be backslashes?
