- ;;; Commentary:
-
- ;; This package provides a pre-packaged `Electric Help Mode' for
- ;; browsing on-line help screens. There is one entry point,
- ;; `with-electric-help'; All you have to give it is a no-argument
- ;; function that generates the actual text of the help into the current
- ;; buffer.
