[gnu.emacs.bug] Cleanup help window

macrakis@UUNET.UU.NET (Stavros Macrakis) (12/19/88)

(Emacs 18.51 on Spix/Sys V)

Help recommends:
"Type C-x 4 b RET to restore old contents of help window."

This only works if the help window happens to be the next window after
the current window.  This is not true if, for instance, a help window
existed before you asked for the most recent help.

I suggest that a specific sequence restore the help window, for
instance HELP RET, guaranteed to always work.

Also, it would be nice if Help could choose a relatively empty window,
so that the redisplay time could be minimised....
