There are some help files of the externals which I do not copy to the original Max-help folder. Instead, I put these externals (with their help files) in the same folder with the patch that needs these externals. In Max/MSP 5, I can bring out an extra window to show the help file just within the patch without having to put these help files to the "max-help" folder. But in Max/MSP 4.6, this way of bringing out the extra help window does not work.

Are there any settings I am missing to let help files in Max/MSP 4/6 also work this way ?
