Then how about changing the name to "Less" (it says "More" right now,
after you click it).  Or some other, equally short string.

My point is that it's confusing to have two buttons labeled the same.  

Also, the position where the button is placed, right near the doc string, 
looked like a bug to me.  Is there a way to have more separation between 
the doc string and the button, at least on character terminals?
