;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This file supplies the macro make-help-screen which constructs
;; single character dispatching with browsable help such as that provided
;; by help-for-help. This can be used to make many modes easier to use; for
;; example, the Gnu Emacs Empire Tool uses this for every "nested" mode map
;; called from the main mode map.
;; The name of this package was changed from help-screen.el to
;; help-macro.el in order to fit in a 14-character limit.
;;-> *********************** Example of use *********************************
;;->(make-help-screen help-for-empire-redistribute-map
;;-> "c:civ m:mil p:population f:food ?"
;;-> "You have discovered the GEET redistribution commands
;;-> From here, you can use the following options:
;;->
;;->c Redistribute civs from overfull sectors into connected underfull ones
;;-> The functions typically named by empire-ideal-civ-fcn control
;;-> based in part on empire-sector-civ-threshold
;;->m Redistribute military using levels given by empire-ideal-mil-fcn
;;->p Redistribute excess population to highways for max pop growth
;;-> Excess is any sector so full babies will not be born.
;;->f Even out food on highways to highway min and leave levels
;;-> This is good to pump max food to all warehouses/dist pts
;;->
;;->
;;->Use \\[help-for-empire-redistribute-map] for help on redistribution.
;;->Use \\[help-for-empire-extract-map] for help on data extraction.
;;->Please use \\[describe-key] to find out more about any of the other keys."
