That is not correct for the '<' key. You are told "Restriction is only
possible in Org buffers". In my opinion the distinction of the '<' key
should be more positively indicated. The wording and arrangement of the
prompt buffer is confusing at best. It is disheartening when the
difficulties experienced by a non-specialist seem to be dismissed
out-of-hand.
