+\"Editing\" means that you can run shell commands on files, visit,
+  compress, load or byte-compile them, change their file attributes
+  and insert subdirectories into the same buffer.  You can \"mark\"
+  files for later commands or \"flag\" them for deletion, either file
+  by file or all files matching certain criteria.
+You can move using the usual cursor motion commands.\\<dired-mode-map>
+Letters no longer insert themselves.  Digits are prefix arguments.
+Instead, type \\[dired-flag-file-deletion] to flag a file for Deletion.
+Type \\[dired-mark] to Mark a file or subdirectory for later commands.
+  Most commands operate on the marked files and use the current file
+  if no files are marked.  Use a numeric prefix argument to operate on
+  the next ARG (or previous -ARG if ARG<0) files, or just `1'
+  to operate on the current file only.  Prefix arguments override marks.
+  Mark-using commands display a list of failures afterwards.  Type \\[dired-summary]
+  to see why something went wrong.
+Type \\[dired-unmark] to Unmark a file or all files of a subdirectory.
+Type \\[dired-unmark-backward] to back up one line and unflag.
+Type \\[dired-do-flagged-delete] to eXecute the deletions requested.
+Type \\[dired-advertised-find-file] to Find the current line's file
+  (or dired it in another buffer, if it is a directory).
+Type \\[dired-find-file-other-window] to find file or dired directory in Other window.
+Type \\[dired-maybe-insert-subdir] to Insert a subdirectory in this buffer.
+Type \\[dired-do-rename] to Rename a file or move the marked files to another directory.
+Type \\[dired-do-copy] to Copy files.
+Type \\[dired-sort-toggle-or-edit] to toggle sorting by name/date or change the `ls' switches.
+Type \\[revert-buffer] to read all currently expanded directories again.
+  This retains all marks and hides subdirs again that were hidden before.
+SPC and DEL can be used to move down and up by lines.
+
+If dired ever gets confused, you can either type \\[revert-buffer] \
+to read the
+directories again, type \\[dired-do-redisplay] \
+to relist a single or the marked files or a
+subdirectory, or type \\[dired-build-subdir-alist] to parse the buffer
