[PD] [folder] external?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I'm not aware of the rules that you are talking about.  One thing I do  
know is that you don't need to use class_sethelpsymbol() for a object  
called [playlist] unless the help patch is called something other than  
playlist-help.pd.

So for 'unauthorized', all of the help patches are named after the  
objects, so class_sethelpsymbol() is unneeded and redundant.
