Well, you could get a simple list of Pd objects by just looking at, which
.pd_linux, .pd_darwin or .dll files are in the directories of your Pd-path.
This would not cover libraries, though, but many objects, at least from CVS,
aren't in libraries. It could also be possible, but probably slow, to write
some function for Pd, which scans all external/library files for the X_setup
functions that create the objects. Isn't Max doing something like this?

But then, you would have a list of objects, but still wouldn't know what they
do. So maybe it's best to complete the help files, then you would have
documentation and a list in one directory.

ciao
