Oh yeah?
Interestingly, one has to know the object name in order to right-click-Help.
but I'm not just talking about writing patches. I'm also talking about reading them. If you see [242.mikr0s0ft] in a patch and you've never used it, the help file is going to help you. What if you remember seeing the name but don't recall what it does? that can happen both when writing patches and reading them.
