"Insert the next keystroke verbatim", I would say then.

Looking further, the description of ^M is incorrect, as it does not 
insert a carriage return (0d) but a line feed (0a).  Although in my 
opinion it is weird that a ^M should insert a ^J: it would be more 
logical and more useful if a ^M actually inserted a ^M, but looking 
at the code this seems impossible, as ^M and Enter are equivalent.

One question about the code in global.c around line 680:

  #ifndef NANO_TINY
          , IFHELP(nano_refresh_msg, TRUE)
  #else
          , IFHELP(nano_refresh_msg, FALSE)
  #endif

Why these two alternatives when in tiny there is no help anyway, so 
having a blank line or not doesn't matter?
