But newbies don't expect backspace to give help. (and, except in X,
backspace and C-h are rather difficult to separate).
In X everyone is happy, of course, with C-h doing help and backspace
doing backspace.
It's a lot easier for experienced users to put C-h back to help than
it is for newbies to make it do backspace.
(Of course the real solution is to get a time machine and go back and kill
whoever decided that using C-h for a delete key was a smart idea. Anyone got
one?)
