Its a huge improvement on the implementation side of things on Mac OS X. 
   This help browser is by no means a "finished product".  Its really 
just the groundwork for the PDDP help browser which will include 
searching and automatic categorization using meta data.

This is written in Tcl/Tk.  It would be much cooler if it was written in 
Pd.  I think that all of the properties/pref panels in Pd should be 
written in Pd.  Its that way in Max/MSP...
