Is there a reason that help-for-help is page-scrollable with

newcomer will try those and be surprised by the help buffer silently
disappearing.

Shift+Space should probably also act as “scroll a page back” on
terminals where this key is distinguishable.

Adding PgUp/PgDown and S-SPC support sound like particularly good improvements to me as well.
