this is fine but for one thing..... there are two kinds of :map's
:map for command mode mappings,
:map! for insert mode mappings
so for your insert mode help you may like to use the following
:map!   ^[OP ^[:!clear;more .helpfile^M
I however would use
:map!   ^[OP ^[:!clear;more .helpfile^M^Ma
which would stop the "hit return to continue" message from waiting for you
and would then continue inserting
