Update some of the OSC doc

 
 Methods that manipulate panes or layers act on the currently selected
 pane or layer.  Use the setcurrent method to choose the right target
 for subsequent such methods.
 
-There is a small program sv/osc/sv-osc-send.c that sends an OSC method
-and arguments to a given URL, and a small shell script sv/osc/sv-command
-that provides a basic command shell for Sonic Visualiser.
+If you need an OSC client, there is a small program in the svcore
+library at
+
+  svcore/data/osc/sv-osc-send.c 
+
+that sends an OSC method and arguments to a given URL -- this is not
+specific to SV but will work with it. To compile that program you
+should only have to run
+
+  $ gcc sv-osc-send.c -o sv-osc-send -llo
+
+provided you have liblo installed.
+
+Then there is a small shell script in the same directory, called
+sv-command, that provides a basic command shell for Sonic Visualiser.
+Start SV first, then sv-command should find its OSC port from the
+system process table when you start it.
+For example:
+
+  $ PATH=.:$PATH ./sv-command      # Set PATH so it can find sv-osc-send
+  /open snare_hex.wav
+  /add spectrogram
+  /set layer Colour Sunset
+  /play
+  /quit
+  $
