Hi Drew,

thanks for the comments.  Here is a new version:

Please test the new help mechanism.

The problem is that I don't know how to prevent Emacs from waiting an
event when the user select another frame, and making it wait for this
event when back to the frame where (read-event) was first called.

Any hint?

This should be better now.

Hopefully I made some progress on this front as well.  It was tricky
before knowing about `adjust-window-trailing-edge'.

There still might be some oddities like that, I'll check when I've more
time.

I update the docstring and the help window.

Yes, maybe.  I'll try this and maybe implement it in 0.5.

Same, will be in 0.5.

Hopefully it's getting better.  

Thanks!
