Hi Dan,
Thanks for the report.
So I broke down and looked at the manual page...which told me
nothing about how to actually use the program.
It's generated from the --help message, as with many other GNU packages.
I don't want to maintain information in yet another place, the current
situation is already suboptimal.
Giving a brief summary of the useful command keys would go a long way.
When you first start up Info, it tells you "type h for help". I think
that's what you're basically looking for.
I rather doubt you'll find it sufficient, but maybe it's better than
nothing: I changed the help message (and hence the man page) to mention
this, and give examples of reading the Info manuals (of which there are
two -- long story, sigh). Thus, it now looks like this:
...
items relative to the initial node visited.
For a summary of key bindings, type h within Info.
Examples:
info show top-level dir menu
info info show the general manual for Info readers
info info-stnd show the manual specific to this Info program
info emacs start at emacs node from top-level dir
...
(I'll make another pretest in a bit so the translators will have a chance.)
Best,
karl
