I tried to remove the "help-" prefix and got into severe (but stupid) problems... The reason they're there is so that abstractions won't try to load themselves when you ask for help on them. But I should have designed the "sethelp" feature not to prepend the name. Now it's too complicated to back out of that (100s of names I would break again by taking it out!)
I did fix the wording of the error message at least... cheers Miller

hi,
it seems now, with 0.37, that pd cannot find usual help files because it systematically prepends "help-" to the searched file, mm, that's annoying for the tons of objects that register their own help files in separate directory like pidip/my-help-file.pd.
from s_path.c : strcpy(realname, "help-");
results into :
tried /usr/local/pd-0.37-test7/pidip/help-help_pdp_imgloader.pd and
failed
tried
/usr/local/pd-0.37-test7/doc/5.reference/help-help_pdp_imgloader.pd and failed
sorry, couldn't find help for "help_pdp_imgloader.pd"
sorry, but the error message is even wrong. i'd rather this rule be removed if you don't mind.
cheers, sevy
