;; Get the macro make-help-screen when this is compiled,
;; or run interpreted, but not when the compiled code is loaded.

;; position of the buffer shown in the help window in order to override
;; the standard positioning mechanism (`point-min') chosen by
;; `with-output-to-temp-buffer' and `with-temp-buffer-window'.
