Both applied to CVS; thanks.  I made one minor change to the second one,
though: the verbatim input description still says "character(s)" instead
of "character" because it can be used to insert more than one character
at once.  For example, if you press an arrow key then, you'll get the
entire corresponding escape sequence.  Of course, if you have an idea
how to describe this more clearly, feel free to mention it :)

Fixed in CVS.  The code I added to preserve the statusbar prompt's
cursor position when leaving the help menu still needed to be included
even when help was disabled (since displaying a message indicating that
help was disabled still counted as a function).

No problem.

They certainly seem to be :)
