adopt some orphan commands

Browse Source 
'? i' shows three keyless commands in the General section.  This
makes M-X the key for #exploremode.  #herecmdmenu and #therecmdmenu
are still keyless but now autocomplete.

A ridiculous amount of documentation for a three line code change.

Unlike control characters, where ^{}x and ^{}X denote the same thing,
meta characters are case-sensitive: M-x and M-X represent different things.
Some commands which can be run via a meta character require that the
letter be capitalized because the lower-case equivalent is used for
another command, so the three key combination meta+shift+letter is needed.
