Good idea... I've updated my copy, and thanks for the 'sed' magic. Note also pd/extra, some of whose subdirs also have "help" files in them.
I'll hold off on checking the new version in until the CVS repository "main" branch starts showing the *-help.pd names...

I would like to rename the Pd core help files in CVS so that they conform to the naming convention *-help.pd. Currently, they are in the deprecated format help-*.pd. There are two ways for this to happen: add and remove the files from CVS, or put in a support request to sourceforge to have them rename them in CVS. The later option is preferred because then the CVS history is preserved.
This script will rename the files for you if you run it in pd/doc:
#------------ #!/bin/sh
for helpfile in help-*.pd ; do mv "$helpfile" "`echo $helpfile | sed 's/^help-(.*).pd$/\1-help.pd/'`" done #------------
Once we agree to this, I'll put in the SourceForge support request. It generally takes them less than a week to fulfill such requests.
