<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I wasn't using the -path flag, just trying to call a help file for an abstraction stored in the same directory as the parent patch is saved.

It works correctly if I specify the path (ie [folder/abstraction]). I'm still on test2, so perhaps this has been sorted already.<br>> > <br>> <br>> > _______________________________________________<br>> > Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list<br>> > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list<br>> <br></div> </div></body>
