There really is no need for such a short second level help message,
since the minibuffer can be grown to an appropriate size:

Apropos Bindings Command(?) Function Info Key Lossage Mode News Syntax
Tutorial Variable Where-is ^Copying ^Distribution ^Warranty

It fits comfortably in two lines. ^H-c presents a bit of a
non-mnemonic problem, though.
