There's already help text there, my comment was simply that nowhere on the
screen does it tell you that there is help text available, while other places
do explicitly say things like "Press F1 to read the frobnitz guide".

Perhaps the problem is that my commit "runs" keep getting aborted because
it can't resolve the hostname or can't reach the host -- mebbe the state
gets confused at that point.

to exit?  System will reboot." .
