I am -very- new to Max and I have just now started going through beginner tutorials. 

In Tutorial No. 4, "Using metro"--- the metro object does not work (even in the pre-made patch!):

Whenever I press the button, or int 1, I simply get a single "A: bang" in the Max window, and no further bangs. 

There is no repeating bang, only a one-time bang. This also happens when I create a metro-print system myself.

I realize this is a super-novice question, but I've gone through the forums and help files and cannot find the proper solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Note that metro needs an argument for setting the time interval.

For example, "metro 1000" will output bangs at a rate of 1000 milliseconds (= 1 second).

Yes, but metro has a default argument to 10 or 100ms, so it'll always work whatever.

What operating system / Max version are you using?

Only think i can think of is an earlier stack overflow. If you had a stack overflow, press Resume from the Edit menu (works in most cases) or restart Max.
