    However, I suggest that showing help should quit window editing. The reason
    is that you are in a `read-event' loop, and that prevents any normal
    interactions with the help.

It is useful to present the help without exiting the special command
loop if the presence of the help does not interfere with continuing to
use the special command loop to resize the windows.
