Please put that constant list into a variable

Done.

Please give this a defun and give it a doc string that explains
precisely what it tests.
Done.

What is the purpose of presenting that button?
What does it do when the user clicks on it?
Comments have to say such things.
Done now - I hope the comments tell what is needed now.
In general, your code has hardly any comments. Please add comments enough
to make it _clear_.
Done.
I have attached the new version.
However I noticed a strange thing when testing this on w32 from
2006-07-02. If I start with "emacs -Q", then load the attached file and
evaluate it with eval-buffer, then the old `help-with-tutorial' from
help-fns.el may still be bound to C-h t. (I actually used F1 t.)
I check this with "F1 k F1 t". If I now call eval-buffer again and "F1 k
F1 t" the new definition of help-with-tutorial from the attached file
will be shown.

If you really need to perform a command which starts with one of
the prefix keys even when the region is active, you have three
options:
- press the prefix key twice very quickly (within 0.2 seconds),
