I've just been asked by someone very new to Scheme how to get Edwin to
do anything in the editor. I realized that he was rather confused by
the introductory message, which told him to `type C-h for help,'
without mentioning exactly what that meant; it took me several minutes
and a screenshot to realize that he was typing uppercase C, hyphen,
and lowercase h.
Would anyone object if I were to change the introductory message to
something more like this?
;You are in an interaction window of the Edwin editor.
;Type `C-h' for help, or `C-h t' for a tutorial.
;`C-h m' will describe some commands.
;`C-h' means: hold down the Control key and type `h'.
