I think it would be pretty easy to scrap that page and stick the key text bits into the help page. Something like "NAME", "C SPECIFICATION", "PARAMETERS", and "DESCRIPTION". I imagine that this stuff doesn't change very often.
Ideally there would be working examples for each function, but that's a big project. What else should go on that help page?

The GEMgl objects really require a working knowledge of OpenGL, and it would be a bit much to redo much of the standard texts in the help patches. Just put a link to: http://www.glprogramming.com/blue/
That should cover most of the objects - even the ones that can't possibly work in Pd/GEM.

I am just looking at some of the GEMgl stuff, and noticed there are no helpfiles for any of them. It seems that it would be quite useful to make a help template for these functions, then generate them automatically, since the objects themselves were auto- generated. It would be very nice to have these help patches already generated from the OpenGL reference, and also included a link, perhaps.
I just committed GLdefine-help.pd as a start. Any thoughts on that?
