;-) No, I was not talking about dancing arrows. I often found that many
people find the Emacs terminology confusing. They do read (emacs)Glossary,
(emacs)Screen but they would like to see pictures. One picture is more then
ten pages of text. I have spent one "lesson" with my users to describe them
the difference between mode-line and echo area and window/buffer, you know.

Well, but this was the most asked question just after releasing 21.1... So
users (and even novice users) wanted to remove it.
