Reconcile with changes in line movement behavior for long text lines that cross more than a single physical window line, ie when truncate-lines is nil. (allout-next-visible-heading): Provide for change in line-move behavior on long lines when truncate-lines is nil. In that case, line-move can wind up on the same textual line when it moves to the next window line, and moving to the bullet position after the move yields zero advancement. Add logic to detect and compensate for the lack of progress. (allout-current-topic-collapsed-p): move-end-of-line respect for field boundaries is different when operating with body lines shorter than window width versus ones greater than window width, which can yield false negatives in this function. Avoid difference by applying move-end-of-line while field-text-motion is inhibited.

;;; Commentary:

;; This file supplies the macro make-help-screen which constructs
;; single character dispatching with browsable help such as that provided
;; by help-for-help. This can be used to make many modes easier to use; for
;; example, the GNU Emacs Empire Tool uses this for every "nested" mode map
;; called from the main mode map.

;;       The name of this package was changed from help-screen.el to
;; help-macro.el in order to fit in a 14-character limit.

;;->f	Even out food on highways to highway min and leave levels
