Any idea why the patch links in the basic, msp and jitter tutorials don't work?  I don't know if it's my browser, a bug in the site redesign or some other reason.  There are well over a hundred tutorials that make reference to patches that aren't linked.  I know there are other tutorials that have patches included but  I'm just getting started so that sorta thing would be really helpful.  I'm get kinda fried reading page after page of text with no hands on examples...  which I suppose is part of the reason I was drawn to Max in the first place.

Answering my own question... (partially at the expense of my pride).

Apparently the patches are available in any of several possible ways all of which are within the Max program and none of which are online (the initial source of my confusion).

The key to your success (and the well-being of millions you will never meet personally) is the Documentation window.

The Documentation window is accessible via the Getting Started with Max startup screen or any of several choices in File > New File Browser or the Help menu.

You can also navigate to the Max folder on your system to access the actual files. They are in Max/patches/docs.

Finally, if you click on the reference tab in the side bar of any patcher window or object help window and scroll to the bottom, under the See Also section, you will find links to Tutorials (T) and Vignettes (V) which will open the Holiest of Holies, the Documentation window.
