Could you please consider the patch I send after this first? That 
include changes that makes help available for isearh in a sensible way 
and I think that is important.

I thought you might disagree on SPC and DEL but the reason I still did 
the change was because it is mostly new users that use this and need 
help with scrolling. They probably do not user terminals I believe. Are 
you sure SPC and DEL are better?
