That's true. And the fact that using `?'
immediately shows `*Help*' helps (especially if
that help tells you about `?' - see below).
So I retract my vote to remove it.
___
However, it might be better for the displayed help
to not immediately disappear if you click it or
try to search it (`C-s'), etc., and to put it into
a separate window. I.e., let it just do what
`C-h m' does.
And it might be better for the displayed help to
put this first line before other key descriptions:
? Display this help. (`C-q ?' inserts `?'.)
h Invoke the Info tutorial.
q Quit Info: reselect previously selected buffer.
