Yes. Running "% open /Applications/Pd-0.41-0.app" twice wont start two instances of Pd.

i guess i meant that (the one who has the problem just told me that he used "open"

Ah. Well maybe "open" can do something, i don't know much about it. Basically it just open file/folders in the default app associated with the type. Like clicking icons. So one would normally run "open somefile.extention". Apple has the manpage online:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/open.1.html

What i've done is, that i've made an alias i .profile that points to "/Applications/Pd-0.41-0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd". It respects some of the startup flags, but sadly not "-open file.pd".

where do i put the .profile? i am really no expert here...

In $HOME. As soon as you open Terminal you should feel somewhat at home. I think Terminal use BASH as the default shell.
