| 29 | |
| 30 | ;; This file supplies the macro make-help-screen which constructs |
| 31 | ;; single character dispatching with browsable help such as that provided |
| 32 | ;; by help-for-help. This can be used to make many modes easier to use; for |
| 33 | ;; example, the GNU Emacs Empire Tool uses this for every "nested" mode map |
| 34 | ;; called from the main mode map. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | ;; The name of this package was changed from help-screen.el to |
| 37 | ;; help-macro.el in order to fit in a 14-character limit. |
