Any chance of renaming the iemabs help files from (help-*.pd) to the standard (*-help.pd)? It would be a matter of running this script that's in CVS: "scripts/convert-help-to-standard.sh" and checking it into cvs.
You could do the checkin like this (from tcsh):
foreach file (*-help.pd) cvs add $file cvs remove `echo $file | sed 's/(.*)-help.pd/help-\1.pd/' end
I'd do it myself, but I don't know whether the copy in pure-data CVS is the canonical version.

Is this standard documented somewhere? (The "standard" I was using is http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/HOWTO-externals-en.html, which suggests help-*.pd.) Would it also indicate whether the name of the externals default directory should be "externs" or "extra"?

Its only been documented really on this list and by practice. There has been quite a bit of discussion on it, check the archives if you are interested. It would be nice if that HOWTO was changed to reflect this.

I think its become "extra" by default, since that's where the standard path points too.

the copy at the sf-CVS is canonical as it is a copy of thomas' working directory (which is _really_ canonical).
i would not dare and change these filenames without thomas' approval (if you want the CVS-version to stay "canonical".
