Yes, the example file seems to be corrupted, you could post it to 
support, so that cycling can correct it for the next distribution...
In principle the synthax is correct. You don't need to specify the 
complete path if the file is within your search path by the way...

You can also correct it yourself: if you rename the presetExample.pat 
into presetExample without extension, or change the read message to 
include the extension, it will load it, but won't find the objects its 
refering to. That means the preset file is old and not refering to an 
obviously newer preset.help file.

You can create a new preset file by using the write message, and 
overwriting the existing presetExample file. Then reload and it should 
work...
