How do I read topic XXX in the on-line manual?
==============================================

   When we refer you to some TOPIC in the on-line manual, you can read
this manual node inside Emacs (assuming nothing is broken) by typing
`C-h i m emacs <RET> m TOPIC <RET>'.

   This invokes Info, the GNU hypertext documentation browser.  If you
don't already know how to use Info, type <?> from within Info.

   If we refer to TOPIC:SUBTOPIC, type `C-h i m emacs <RET> m TOPIC
<RET> m SUBTOPIC <RET>'.

   If these commands don't work as expected, your system administrator
may not have installed the Info files, or may have installed them
improperly.  In this case you should complain.

   Note: Getting a printed manual, if you would like a paper copy of
the Emacs manual.
