How to use Info
===============

   You are talking to the program Info, for reading documentation.

   Right now you are looking at one "Node" of Information.  A node
contains text describing a specific topic at a specific level of
detail.  This node's topic is "how to use Info".  The mode line says
that this is node `Help' in the file `info'.

   The top line of a node is its "header".  This node's header (look at
it now) says that the `Next' node after this one is the node called
`Help-P'.  An advanced Info command lets you go to any node whose name
you know.  In the stand-alone Info reader program, the header line
shows the names of this node and the info file as well.  In Emacs, the
header line is displayed in a special typeface, and it doesn't scroll
off the screen when you scroll the display.  The names of this node and
of its Info file are omitted by Emacs from the header line.

   Besides a `Next', a node can have a `Previous' or an `Up' links, or
both.  As you can see, this node has all of these links.

   Now it is time to move on to the `Next' node, named `Help-P'.

>> Type n to move there.  Type just one character;
   do not type the quotes and do not type a <RET> afterward.

`>>' in the margin means it is really time to try a command.

>> If you have a mouse, and if you already practiced typing n
   to get to the next node, click now with the right mouse button on
   the `Next' link to do the same ``the mouse way''.
