[Julius Smith]->[[PD-dev] Help search; standard external installation...

 |Dear pd-dev,
 |
 |When pd searches for a help file in response to "right-click Help" on some
 |external object, the '~' is removed from the sought filename.  This seems
 |incorrect since it prevents "signal-based" and "message-based" objects from
 |having the same root name.  I would think the '~' should be fundamentally a
 |part of the module's name.
 |
 |My current workaround is to install a symbolic link from "help-name~.pd" to
 |"help-name.pd" in my doc dir for externals, which seems rather ugly.

the help file can be set:
http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/node9.html#SECTION000921000000000000000
