Do you think it should say `press comma for next match' instead?
Though that might make the line too long in some cases.  Hm.

I don't know what Christopher said, but the following turns on
auto-fill in all text-like modes:

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

I wish this was customizable.  Hm.

Yes, I understand.  Hm.  It's hard to explain, but it seems to me
that after a while, one sees how the Emacs maintainers think and from
then on it's much easier to find new stuff in Emacs.  So I keep
trying to give some examples to show what Emacs is like, hoping that
this will help beyond the concrete example that I'm giving.

For example, I searched for "tool" because it's not clear whether it
should be tool-bar or tool bar or toolbar.
