FWIW, that suggestion from Eli is a fine one.

I was responding only to the fact that Eli
talked only about `C-x 4' and Juri wrote
only about `C-h 4'.  I thought maybe Eli
didn't notice the `C-h'.

My concern, which I thought was also what
Eli was expressing, was not to gratuitously
add to the `C-x 4' prefix.  (IMO, `C-x 4 h'
as a prefix for help commands that use the
other window is fine - not gratuitous waste
of a `C-x 4' prefix.)

The rest of your msg doesn't seem to be a
reply to mine (?).

To be clear, I'm not requesting anything about
scrolling other windows.  I rarely, if ever,
have any need to scroll other windows.
