Creating Cross References
=========================

   A cross reference can be placed anywhere in the text, unlike a menu
item which must go at the front of a line.  A cross reference looks
like a menu item except that it has `*note' instead of `*'.  It
_cannot_ be terminated by a `)', because `)''s are so often part of
node names.  If you wish to enclose a cross reference in parentheses,
terminate it with a period first.  Here are two examples of cross
references pointers:

     Note: details.  (See Note: 3.)

_These are just examples._  The places they "lead to" do not really
exist!
