diff lisp/help-mode.el @ 69587:ddaea7e69d4f

(help-follow-symbol): New function. Essentially identical to the old `help-follow', but do not let `push-button' do the work when on an xref. (help-mode-map): Bind `help-follow-symbol' to "C-c C-c". (help-xref-symbol-regexp): Make no xref for symbol preceded by the word `program'. (From Richard Stallman.) (help-follow-mouse, help-follow): Throw error if not on xref. Delete no longer used args. (From Richard Stallman.)
