Now why didn't I think of that?
OK, so as not to uproot people again I'll make it search for both, but let's regard "metro-help.pd", etc., as the preferred form.

Hi Marc,
You have to have a separate name for abstraction help patches because (as of version 0.37) Pd looks in the directory the patch came from for the help window. This allows people to "bundle" several extern versions, plus a fallback abstraction, plus the help window, all in one directory for easy installation.
I like to embed help, comments and even examples in my abstactions, so I don't have to provide a seperate help patch. But I understand your point. Then maybe using "-help.pd" as a suffix instead of "help-" as a prefix would be a better idea, for readability, but I guess that's totally subjective. Another solution would be to use a different extension for help patches, something like ".pdh".
