I think it would be good if the prompt indicated which key to press to
get help. Here is the patch.

* terminal.el (te-escape): Show `?' in prompt for help key.

If `?' does something useful, it must be bound to some command
(te-escape-help) in some map (terminal-escape-map). So instead of a
literal `?' in the prompt, you should look it up:
(format "...%s..."
...
(substitute-command-keys "\\<terminal-escape-map>\\[te-escape-help]")
...)
