Pd-0.45.0 ("test") compiled 17:10:02 Aug  8 2013

What Happens
------------

* [pd] subpatch right-click help opens canvas-help.pd which is really the help patch for [table]
* there is a pd-help.pd for subpatches, accessible from [inlet] [inlet~] [outlet] [outlet~] right-click help
* [table] right-click help opens canvas-help.pd
* help browser 5.reference doesn't list any table-help.pd
* empty canvas space right-click help opens help-intro.pd

What I Expected
---------------

* [pd] -> pd-help.pd
* [table] -> table-help.pd (with same or better content as current canvas-help.pd)
* empty space -> canvas-help.pd which could explain the process of creating patches using mouse and keyboard etc
* "object index" (or similar) menu item in help menu -> help-intro.pd
