 Info: An Introduction
 *********************
 
 The GNU Project distributes most of its on-line manuals in the "Info
 format", which you read using an "Info reader".  You are probably using
 an Info reader to read this now.
 
    There are two primary Info readers: 'info', a stand-alone program
 designed just to read Info files ( What is Info? (info-stnd)Top.),
 and the 'info' package in GNU Emacs, a general-purpose editor.  At
 present, only the Emacs reader supports using a mouse.
 
    If you are new to the Info reader and want to learn how to use it,
 type the command 'h' now.  It brings you to a programmed instruction
 sequence.
 
    To read about advanced Info commands, type 'n' twice.  This brings
 you to 'Advanced Info Commands', skipping over the 'Getting Started'
 chapter.
 
    This file describes how to use Info, the on-line, menu-driven GNU
 documentation system.
