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. ;;-> *********************** Example of use ********************************* ;;->(make-help-screen help-for-empire-redistribute-map ;;-> "c:civ m:mil p:population f:food ?" ;;-> "You have discovered the GEET redistribution commands ;;-> From here, you can use the following options: ;;-> ;;->c Redistribute civs from overfull sectors into connected underfull ones ;;-> The functions typically named by empire-ideal-civ-fcn control ;;-> based in part on empire-sector-civ-threshold ;;->m Redistribute military using levels given by empire-ideal-mil-fcn ;;->p Redistribute excess population to highways for max pop growth ;;-> Excess is any sector so full babies will not be born. ;;->f Even out food on highways to highway min and leave levels ;;-> This is good to pump max food to all warehouses/dist pts ;;-> ;;-> ;;->Use \\[help-for-empire-redistribute-map] for help on redistribution. ;;->Use \\[help-for-empire-extract-map] for help on data extraction. ;;->Please use \\[describe-key] to find out more about any of the other keys." ;;-> empire-shell-redistribute-map) ;;-> (define-key c-mp "\C-h" 'help-for-empire-redistribute-map) ;;-> (define-key c-mp help-character 'help-for-empire-redistribute-map) ;;; Change Log: ;; ;; 22-Jan-1991 Lynn Slater x2048 ;; Last Modified: Mon Oct 1 11:43:52 1990 #3 (Lynn Slater) ;; documented better ;;; Code: (require 'backquote) ;;;###autoload (defcustom three-step-help nil "*Non-nil means give more info about Help command in three steps.
