that's great.

i am always confused by people telling me that the help-system will not 
properly work.
thomas keeps insisting that it does not work the way he expects it too. 
(i understand his points)
unfortunately i cannot remember exactly what frank's problems were.

what i have just tested (0.37.2 and 0.38test4) was to create 
help-patches for both obj1's (help-obj1.pd) and put them beside the 
obj1.pd_linux's

works great and as expected.
(of course there are problems with the helppath and standard 
search-paths: but things should not be in there anyhow, as there will be 
a file-collision)
