I tend to agree that it is a good idea to have this kind of phrase
somewhere in the document, but you cannot place the material above
the top-level title.  AsciiDoc does not seem to like it.

`h`	back out one level
`j`	next message in thread
`k`	previous message in thread
`l`	drill in
`Esc`	close help / fold thread tree
`?`	toggle this help
