[9fans] h is for help in tp

[Rick Hohensee <humbubba@smarty.smart.net>]

I just have the command language of sam in cLIeNUX, since I don't use X. I
also call sam tp for "text processor". In view of someone whining about
the user interface, allow me to re-post my cheatsheet. In cLIeNUX tp
(sam) this comes up when you hit h. If there's further interest I'll post
the code to do that, which is trivial.
