Summary: Re: [ pure-data-Patches-1412210 ] fix for bug in menu_openht

Initial Comment:
In u_main.tk the procedure menu_openhtml fails on the
NT platform when pd_guidir contains both spaces and the
double dot (/..) which is currently always added for NT
when pd_guidir is constructed from e.g. "C:/Program
Files/pd/bin" as "C:/Program Files/pd/bin/.." instead
of the more straightforward "C:/Program Files/pd".

Forcing the use of short filenames is one way around
this but the attached patch just strips off the "/bin"
instead of adding "/.." to it.

This line terminates the path just before the last slash: 

set pd_guidir [string range $pd_guidir 0 [expr [string
last / $pd_guidir] - 1]]

It also might be more efficient to work only with
pd_guidir, since it always gets shortened, so I took
out the temporary string pd_gui3 as well.
