-;;; Code:
-
-;; hey, here's a helping hand.
-
-;; Bind this to a string for <blank> in "... Other keys <blank>".
-;; Helper-help uses this to construct help string when scrolling.
-;; Defaults to "return"
-(defvar Helper-return-blurb nil)
-
-;; Keymap implementation doesn't work too well for non-standard loops.
-;; But define it anyway for those who can use it.  Non-standard loops
-;; will probably have to use Helper-help.  You can't autoload the
-;; keymap either.
