I do, and did so in the last year or two. I don't see the point in making this 
compatible with pico after it has been in nano for probably 20 years.

But if you do make this change, the following bind should also be included.
    add_to_sclist(MHELP, "F1", 0, do_exit, 0);

And is there a reason MFINDINHELP is not in global.c::menunames?

You also said structs couldn't be size optimized because similar fields should 
be kept together, even though the structs fit in a single page. But then you 
went and moved all the function binds _far_ away from their control bind 
counterparts, making it harder to keep them in sync.
