;; hey, here's a helping hand.

;; Bind this to a string for <blank> in "... Other keys <blank>".
;; Helper-help uses this to construct help string when scrolling.
;; Defaults to "return"

;; Keymap implementation doesn't work too well for non-standard loops.
;; But define it anyway for those who can use it.  Non-standard loops
;; will probably have to use Helper-help.  You can't autoload the
