The old local installed 'built-in' Help, opens separate dialogs.
Usually, ESC closes a dialog, triggering Cancel. For the built-in Help,
that is not relevant. So ESC does not close the dialog. Neither does it
go up one level (assuming that is meant back to a previous visited page,
or up to chapter level from paragraph).

Unless someone else comes up with a description that makes sense and
adds something to the user experience (I can't remember using ESC in the
browser), I would suggest to leave that part out.
