Good point.

The keys used for navigating the dialogs, and these:
       Print  ST's HELP key

       Scroll lock
              ST's UNDO key

Aren't listed there, but I guess users can look those
from the manual.

Or just:

Who's saying that it needs to be changed/updated?

We can ship an intro that celebrates an earlier release,
or Hatari in general. :-)

Indeed.

So, should the cartridge program text changed
to just something like this (for now):

	Press F12 to open Hatari options
	dialog.  Click "Keyboard" button
	to see the available keyboard
	shortcuts.
?
