#X text 53 150 There are four types of text objects in Pd: message \, atom \, object \, and comment.;
#X text 54 187 Messages respond to mouse clicks by sending their contents to one or more destinations. The usual destination is the "outlet" at the lower left corner of the box.;
#X text 55 239 Click the message box and watch the terminal window Pd was started in. You should see the "hello world" message appear.;
#X text 55 278 Atoms respond to "Dragging" up and down with the mouse \, by changing their contents and sending the result out their outlets. You can also type at an atom after clicking on it \; hit "enter" to output the number or click anywhere else to cancel.;
#X text 52 359 Objects \, like "print" above \, may have all sorts of functions depending on what's typed into them. The "print" object simply prints out every message it receives.;
#X text 53 415 To get help on an object \, right-click it. You should see a "help window" for the object.;
#X text 34 102 When you first open a Pd document like this one \, your cursor will be an arrow. Select "edit mode" in the Edit menu and the cursor will change to the image of a hand. The patch is now in edit mode. You can move any object by dragging it.;
#X text 33 185 Select "Edit mode" again in the Edit menu and you're back to the arrow cursor which acts on objects without moving them.;
#X text 32 373 You can create new objects by duplicating existing ones using the "duplicate" menu item. You can also "cut" and "paste" them. If you duplicate several connected objects the connections will be replicated too.;
#X text 33 237 In Edit mode \, if you click on a message \, object \, or comment \, you can then retype the text. For objects this will create a new object and delete the old one. Pd will try to reconnect the newly created object in the same way as the old one.;
#X text 34 442 Edit mode also lets you make and break connections between objects. Put the "hand" cursor over a line connecting two objects: it turns into an X. Clicking will delete the connection. Hold the cursor over an outlet and it becomes a circle (a patch point). Drag to any box and release \; you will be connected to the nearest inlet.;
#X text 32 320 When you're done changing the contents of the box \, click outside the box to deselect it. This tells Pd to incorporate the new text.;
#X text 328 604 updated for Pd version 0.33;
#X text 35 544 The "put" menu creates new text items of any of the four types. You can also put a "symbol" box \, analogous to a number box but for showing and entering text strings.;
