28 ;; This file supplies the macro make-help-screen which constructs
|
2456
|
29 ;; single character dispatching with browsable help such as that provided
|
|
30 ;; by help-for-help. This can be used to make many modes easier to use; for
|
|
31 ;; example, the Gnu Emacs Empire Tool uses this for every "nested" mode map
|
|
32 ;; called from the main mode map.
|
|
33
|
2530
|
34 ;; The name of this package was changed from help-screen.el to
|
|
35 ;; help-macro.el in order to fit in a 14-character limit.
