I didn't know about the "C-h b".  What's the difference?  Why I have
to type "C-c C-h", "C-x C-h", etc. but "C-s C-h" does not work whilst
"C-s C-h b" does?

Funnily enough, according to "C-h c", "C-c C-h" and "C-x C-h" are not
bound to anything, neither is "C-h" alone (it is a prefix key).

Thanks.
