Improve the help for "Mark newer, hide same"

Post by *Slavic »

While this is quite useful option for example, to compare the current files and archive copies in another folder, the help article is a bit too short. Two important things are missed:

1. After comparison, the paths on both panels get the prefix "comparison: ", its presence means that the content is shown only partially.

2. There is no hint/advice how to restore the normal panel view. Some people may suppose that another usage of "Mark newer, hide same" will restore the view, but it doesn't work this way. Using the "Reread source" in the Show menu restores only current panel, not the opposite one. To restore normal view of both panels need to switch from TC to another program and return back, or minimize/restore the TC using the window system commands (I haven't found if is it possible by a single command inside TC).

TC10.50b8: help article is significantly improved, thanks!

One last detail: the lowercase of first letter in "comparison:" has been fixed, but still remains in help.
