Um, I changed the help_init() function, then forgot to test all 9 of the
help screens.  Sorry.  The attached patch fixes the problem you found.  It
also makes help_init() better in other ways.  For example, help displays
better in very narrow windows now.  Also, I think the code is more
readable, and the binary is smaller.

I moved the meta-shortcuts to the left column, to agree with the main nano
help screen.  For example, the Write File help screen now looks like:

^G                      Invoke the help menu
^T                      Go to file browser
M-D                     Write file out in DOS format
M-O                     Write file out in Mac format
M-A                     Append to the current file
M-P                     Prepend to the current file
^C                      Cancel the current function

Finally, I changed some of the help texts.  "Goto" is not an English
word!

Wow.  Wish I had thought of that.  Looks like it works.
