I think this is a documentation bug.  Alt-H is the only key sequence
that cursesterm.c uses for Help.  C-h is occasionally used as
backspace on some misguided terminals, so probably doesn't work that
well anyway.

K&R is all I need:

  Kernighan, B. and Ritchie, D., "The C Programming Language",
  Prentice-Hall, 1988, ISBN 0-13-110362-8.

You may only need to read the first chapter or two to start with, but
the rest of the book will be there when you want to learn more.
