28 ;; | |
29 ;; This file supplies the macro make-help-screen which constructs | |
30 ;; single character dispatching with browsable help such as that provided | |
31 ;; by help-for-help. This can be used to make many modes easier to use; for | |
32 ;; example, the Gnu Emacs Empire Tool uses this for every "nested" mode map | |
33 ;; called from the main mode map. | |
