+
+;; 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.
+
+;; To make this the default, you must do
+;; (require 'ehelp)
+;; (define-key global-map "\C-h" 'ehelp-command)
+;; (define-key global-map [help] 'ehelp-command)
+;; (define-key global-map [f1] 'ehelp-command)

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

+erased before THUNK is called unless NOERASE is non-nil.  THUNK will
+be called while BUFFER is current and with `standard-output' bound to

+in which BUFFER is displayed and allows the user to scroll through that buffer
