A simple set of keywords would be easiest to implement to start with. Then we can test the basic idea out, and see whether its worthwhile to invest a lot of time coding an dynamic, flexible keyword system.

dynamic is easier... in tcl it could be

while {[gets $ch line] >= 0} { if {[regexp $skipbadentries $line] == 0} { ;# for safety set helpfile [lindex $line 0] foreach c [lrange $line 1 end] { lappend categories($c) $helpfile } } }

which might be fed by

find . -name "*-help.pd" -exec awk \ '/KEYWORDS/ {print FILENAME substr($0,index($0,"KEYWORDS")+9)}' {} ;
