Package: emacs
Version: 24.0.50
Tags: patch
Severity: minor

When you hit C-h C-h in Emacs, you get this:

"You have typed C-h, the help character.  Type a Help option:"

I think "the help character" should be changed to something more
appropriate, such as "the help key". While "the help key" is not
completely accurate either for C-h (but is for <f1>) it is better than
calling <f1> or C-h characters.

I don't see a need to keep open this particular report, which was marked
"wontfix" some time ago.
