there are only so many in pd-extended, there aren't that many in pd-vanilla ( i can think of [declare] and pd-settings file only). > or do you think a user should configure the plist/pdrc/registry first > and restart Pd before he can use the documentation/helpfile? i think, as IOhannes said, that it would make sense to put classes (libraries, abstractions, single-object files) and their help-files at the same place. i don't see a benefit in having to tell a help-file where to find the class. roman ___________________________________________________________ Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http://messenger.yahoo.de _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
