[PD] question on help patches path

[i go bananas]

your help file should have exactly the same filename as the original patch,
but with -help.pd as its suffix.

so, for example, if your patch is called  sine_tone.pd

then the help patch has to be called sine_tone-help.pd

it shouldn't matter about the extra folder if you do it correctly.
