I have described an obvious problem: Emacs says press DEL to scroll, the 
user presses Del on their keyboard, and Emacs exits instead.

All that in a Help interface, which is supposed to help newbies. Not 
grizzled veterans.

It's a real problem, if you want people to actually use this feature.

If C-f never did anything in a certain interface, and doing this would 
help usability, why not.
