I didn't change the text to improve it, I changed it to make it
shorter.  Because otherwise, when we echo the keys typed by the user,
they overflow the (default) window width, and that resizes the
mini-window, which causes an unpleasant effect of scrolling the Help
window.

If you can suggest a different solution that avoids the resizing,
please do.
