BTW you might confirm that the 8.3 filename for Program Files is
indeed PROGRA~1 on your system... I think it usually is but you can
check that from the command line. I think there's a flag in the dir
command to show you the 8.3 filename...or you can use old skool
COMMAND.COM and see what it lists the directory as...at least this
is what I recall. No Windows machine around to check...

I'm trying to get Pd to find the GEM help patches for its objects,
but am having no luck so far. Default installation of pd-extended (version 0.40.3) keeps giving me
'sorry, couldn't find help patch for ...' messages

I've added the path C/Program Files/pd/extra/Gem to paths. Still no
love.

I have noticed that the folder with GEM helpfiles appear to be in
two locations; /extra and /doc/5.reference - is this normal?

All other helpfiles seem to work without a problem, just can't get
Gem to behave :S

BTW, I've seen this identical problem on every windows installation
I know (over half a dozen), including 1 under a virtual machine on
Mac OS X. The Mac-native version of pd-extended does not have this problem.

The problem is compounded by Pd starting a new instance when you
double-click a patch under Windows. If it would open in the same intance, I'd just have a window with
help patches open...

Any help in solving this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
