Do I put it here?--> pd\doc\5.reference according to your syntax of file-paths i assume that you are on windows. it would be nice if you could make this explicit. you will not be able to use a darwin binary on windows, you will need the windows binary. it should be named <something>.dll (at least on pd<=0.40; i have _no_ idea which pd version you are running) once you have the correct binary, put both the binary (or abstraction) and the help-file into a path where pd will find it. one _standard_ path for this is the extra/ folder. but you can put it whereever you like as long as you add this path to your private search paths in the File->Path... menu. > > I'm not sure where to put the help files because there is the reference > folder but there are also many help files in the extra folder as well. > What is the difference? the reference section is for pd "internals"; the "extra" section is for objects that are not compiled into pd (e.g. 3rd party modules). you might find help-patches for externals in the reference section, but this is only for legacy reasons (there was a time, when pd would find help-patches only in the reference folder) mfga.sdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
