[PD-dev] sethelpsymbol in Externals HOWTO

A lot of people think that class_sethelpsymbol is required, so some  
minor changes to the Externals-HOWTO would be good:

Could you change this line to match the standard format:

   class_sethelpsymbol(counter_class, gensym("help-counter"));

To this:

   class_sethelpsymbol(counter_class, gensym("counter-help"));

Also, a blurb like this would be good:

"By default, Pd will look for a help patch based on the name of the  
class.  An alternative help patch can be defined with the  
class_sethelpsymbol command."
