,----
| Help mode:
| Major mode for viewing help text and navigating references in it.
| Entry to this mode runs the normal hook `help-mode-hook'.
| Commands:
| key             binding
| ---             -------
| 
| RET             help-follow  (binding currently shadowed)
| C-c             Prefix Command
| <mouse-2>       help-follow-mouse
| <backtab>       backward-button
| TAB             forward-button
| 
| C-c C-c         help-follow
| C-c C-b         help-go-back
`----

'b' would do for `help-go-back', and doesn't appear to conflict with
anything in help/view mode.

Also consider adding 'f' for forward (requires maintaining a future as
well as a history, as in my nero.el...).
