Use PF7 and PF8 for scrolling on HELP PANELS

On the HELP panels for File Manager the scrolling options are F10 and F11.
Since F7 and F8 are almost universal throughout ISPF this convention should be adopted by the HELP panels as well.

    The settings of PF7/PF8 to UP/DOWN which for ISPF help is prvtopic/nxttopic and PF10/11 to LEFT/RIGHT which for help is prvpage/nxtpage is standard ISPF settings for help panels. If you look at the ISR Keylist ISRHELP and FMN Keylist FMNKHELP using the KEYS command they are identical. So this behaviour will not be changed.

    Common sense request as pf7/8 are standard up/down and it violates the principle of least astonismnent that they don't work on help panels.
