I don't follow that logic as I don't currently understand why the help message
persists with my patch.

Addressing Eli's question, it just seems convoluted to have two
help-functions, select one and then, under certain conditions, get it to call
the other - a bit like a double negative.

Clearly though, my criticism isn't really valid unless I can come up with
a better patch - which I will try to do.
