[PD] helpfiles

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

The PDDP standard for this is to have every object have its own help  
file, then have a shared "all_about" patch for the common parts.  You  
can link to that other patch using pddp/open or pddp/pddplink.

Each object's help patch should have an example that is specific to  
that object.  If there aren't different examples, then I don't see  
the point of having different objects...
