;;; Commentary:
|
|
|
|
;; This file supplies the macro `make-help-screen' which constructs
|
|
;; single character dispatching with browsable help such as that
|
|
;; provided by `help-for-help'. This can be used to make many modes
|
|
;; easier to use; for example, the (long-since defunct) GNU Emacs
|
|
;; Empire Tool used 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.
