print-help-return-message

[Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de>]

When there are two or more windows open and the user invokes a command
which displays a *Help* buffer, the tip

Type C-x 4 b RET to restore the other window.

is displayed in the echo area.  I have generally followed this advice,
only to type C-x o immediately afterwards in 99% of the cases --
because I did not really want to leave the window in which I were
editing.  Only now I did discover that there is a better way.  Typing
C-x 4 C-o instead of C-x 4 b restores the other window but does not
select it, that is what I want.

I suggest the following patch for print-help-return-message:

*** help.el~	2006-03-16 11:30:55.000000000 +0100
--- help.el	2006-03-18 08:53:51.000000000 +0100

   			   (cons (selected-window) 'quit-window))

   		    (pop-up-windows
   		     (setq help-return-method (cons (selected-window) t))
   		     "Type \\[delete-other-windows] to remove help window.")

I may be an idea to additionally bind `display-buffer' to the easier
typed C-x 4 o instead of C-x 4 C-o, but that would be dangerously
close to C-x 4 0, which has a potentially undesired consequence.
