Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: I agree that modal is a nuisance. Another problem with the help text window is that, on my system, it opens too narrow -- about 2/3rds the width of a shell or edit window. So many line are wrapped. Is this easy to fix and include with this patch, or does it need a new issue?
