+@defun read-char-from-minibuffer prompt &optional chars history
+This function uses the minibuffer to read and return a single
+character.  Optionally, it ignores any input that is not a member of
+@var{chars}, a list of accepted characters.  The @var{history}
+argument specifies the history list symbol to use; if it is omitted or
+@code{nil}, this function doesn't use the history.
+
+If you bind @code{help-form} to a non-@code{nil} value while calling
+@code{read-char-from-minibuffer}, then pressing @code{help-char}
+causes it to evaluate @code{help-form} and display the result.
