Why? `y', `n', and `q' also have alternative bindings that aren't
listed. See the multiple bindings for act, skip, and exit in
query-replace-map (which is used by map-y-or-n-p, which is called by
save-some-buffers).

Does anyone know whether Emacs 22 displays `^R' or `C-r'?

Indeed! perform-replace (which is called by query-replace) displays:
C-r to enter recursive edit (C-M-c to get out again)
Emacs 22 uses save-some-buffers-action-alist, which says "view this
file". I think "view this file in recursive edit (C-M-c to return)"
would be better.

No comment.

`C-r C-M-c' is close, but it restores the original window configuration. :-)
