;; This package provides a pre-packaged `Electric Help Mode' for
|
||
;; browsing on-line help screens. There is one entry point,

|
||
;; function that generates the actual text of the help into the current
|

;; buffer.
|

THUNK is a function of no arguments which is called to initialize the

contents of BUFFER. BUFFER defaults to `*Help*'. BUFFER will be

erased before THUNK is called unless NOERASE is non-nil. THUNK will

the buffer specified by BUFFER.

shrink the window to fit. If THUNK returns non-nil, we don't do those things.

After THUNK has been called, this function \"electrically\" pops up a window
