Help Mode Commands
==================

   Help buffers provide the same commands as View mode (Note: Misc File
Ops), plus a few special commands of their own.

`<SPC>'
     Scroll forward.

`<DEL>'
`<BS>'
     Scroll backward.  On some keyboards, this key is known as <BS> or
     <backspace>.

`<RET>'
     Follow a cross reference at point.

`<TAB>'
     Move point forward to the next cross reference.

`S-<TAB>'
     Move point back to the previous cross reference.

`Mouse-2'
     Follow a cross reference that you click on.

   When a command name (Note: Running Commands by Name.) or
variable name (Note: Variables) appears in the documentation, it
normally appears inside paired single-quotes.  You can click on the name
with `Mouse-2', or move point there and type <RET>, to view the
documentation of that command or variable.  Use `C-c C-b' to retrace
your steps.

   There are convenient commands for moving point to cross references in
the help text.  <TAB> (`help-next-ref') moves point down to the next
cross reference.  Use `S-<TAB>' to move point up to the previous cross
reference (`help-previous-ref').
