[PD] vista & win7 support ?

[patko]

 The problem is one light year beyond what I've suggested first,
sorry,
it comes from the help patch.

 It's very hard to figure out what's going on,
and watching what's happening by modifying things
by hand with a text editor might help to
find out the kinky lines, good luck!

 Why not trying out select-help.pd from vanilla or older one in svn?
