Hi, I hope this is an easily-solved problem. I have Mac OS X 10.3.9...
I'm just starting out with the Terminal utility/UNIX commands/Darwin, etc.

I just downloaded pd 0.37 and now when I want to open a normal terminal window, pd opens by default and I don't know how to get out of pd. I checked through the documentation and couldn't find an answer there. I'm hoping there's a simple UNIX command to exit pd and start over as a default Terminal window, or to be able to open pd when I want, not by default every time I open a terminal window. Thanks for any help. : )

no big deal!

The culprit was a pesky little "com.apple.Terminal.plist" file, which i trashed.
The system made another one and my original bash shell is back and waiting for my commands ; )

Live and learn...

This seems like a pd bug to me, pd shouldn't alter the execution string so that the Terminal utility just assumes you want to run pd all the time.

THAT'S a little presumptuous of pure data ; )

That is tipical! I have an external sound card and the Audio preferences keep assuming by default that the built in audio is "the one". Latency values are by default 50 ms and I have to correct it everytime I open PD.
I'm sure something could be made!
