Seems like the helptext here was rather old, describing the Status Line a little inaccurately compared to now, and only touched upon a few options (maybe there weren't so many long ago)..but in any event, to be sure it's up to date, I redrafted the entire text, and included a small sub-para on Status Line, as that seemed to be part of the original intent.
