I tried that too - (as in http://msp.ucsd.edu/tmp/z.zip) - opened "a.pd", got help on [z], no problem - there must be something I'm missing...
thanks Miller

I wasn't using the -path flag, just trying to call a help file for an abstraction stored in the same directory as the parent patch is saved. So if I have one folder with "parent.pd" which loads an object [abstract], stored in the same folder, PD will crash if I right click on [abstract] and ask for the help file (whether or not the file "abstract-help.pd" exists.)
I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.

I can't recreate this... (tried pd -path .../z, invoked an abstraction that was in the subdirectory ../z, asked for help and got it. You must be invoking this differently or maybe on a different OS?)

Here's another issue: If I create an abstraction out of the relative home directory and then call its help file, PD is crashing. It works correctly if I specify the path (ie [folder/abstraction]). I'm still on test2, so perhaps this has been sorted already.
