'?' is hard-coded, and occurs outside of the browser or editor menus.

If you type '?' it launches the browser menu in *file* mode.  The first 
time it is run, the file browser will default to $folder, but it will 
remember the last directory used when launched again.

Any other key besides '?' will launch the editor menu.  There is no 
help, but you can see the bindings at
