I'm used to Linux, so can anyone explain to me how to write file path names in Windows so I can load sound files to tables or to [readsf~]? Also, I think I remember reading that spaces in pathnames don't work, so how do I specify that a file is in same folder the patch is in? Thanks!

Actually, I find that when I take a WAV file and paste it into the same folder where pd-extended has bell.aiff, etc., it still won't read. Is this a file permissions issue or what?

Ah, never mind, I figured out that it's the same as Linux; I just screwed up saving the file in Audacity.
