Hi Thomas,
It appears you are right. The problem disappears when I add the line
DefineHelp("name~");
inside the invocation of
FLEXT_NEW_DSP("name~",name)
in name~.cpp (more often called main.cpp).
Is this a flext bug?
Thanks, Julius

Hi Julius, could this be a problem related to flext usage?

Hi Miller,
Hmmm, it sounds like I must have a special problem of some kind. I'll go after it on my machine (a Red Hat 9 Linux system) and report
back.
Thanks, Julius

Hi Julius,
I can't find where the tilde is getting deleted... I just got help
for
the
extern "fiddle~" which picked up "help-fiddle~.pd" correctly. So I
have
no idea what's going on here...
cheers Miller

Thanks for the help. Is there a recommended way to access this
function
[class_sethelpsymbol(t_class *c, t_symbol *s)] via flext?
It still seems to me that the default behavior (removing the
tilde) is
incorrect.

|Dear pd-dev, | |When pd searches for a help file in response to "right-click

This

ugly.
the help file can be set:
