 Advanced Info Commands
 ======================
 
    Here are some more Info commands that make it easier to move around.
 
 `g' goes to a node by name
 --------------------------
 
    If you know a node's name, you can go there by typing `g', the name,
 and <RET>.  Thus, `gTop<RET>' would go to the node called `Top' in this
 file.  (This is equivalent to `t', see  Help-Int.)
 `gExpert<RET>' would come back here.  `g' in Emacs runs the command
 `Info-goto-node'.
 
    Unlike `m', `g' does not allow the use of abbreviations.  But it
 does allow completion, so you can type <TAB> to complete a partial node
 name.
 
    To go to a node in another file, you can include the file name in the
 node name by putting it at the front, in parentheses.  Thus,
 `g(dir)Top<RET>' would go to the Info Directory node, which is the node
 `Top' in the Info file `dir'.  Likewise, `g(emacs)Top<RET>' goes to the
 top node of the Emacs manual.
 
    The node name `*' specifies the whole file.  So you can look at all
 of the current file by typing `g*<RET>' or all of any other file with
 `g(FILENAME)<RET>'.
 
 `1' - `9' choose a menu subtopic by its number
 ----------------------------------------------
 
    If you begrudge each character of type-in which your system requires,
 you might like to use the commands `1', `2', `3', `4', ..., `9'.  They
 are short for the `m' command together with a name of a menu subtopic.
 `1' goes through the first item in the current node's menu; `2' goes
 through the second item, etc.  In the stand-alone reader, `0' goes
 through the last menu item; this is so you need not count how many
 entries are there.  In Emacs, the digit keys run the command
 `Info-nth-menu-item'.
 
    If your display supports multiple fonts, and you are using Emacs'
 Info mode to read Info files, the `*' for the fifth menu item stands
 out, either in color or in some other attribute, such as underline, and
 so is the `*' for the ninth item; this makes it easy to see at a glance
 which number to use for an item.
 
    Some terminals don't support colors or underlining.  If you need to
 actually count items, it is better to use `m' instead, and specify the
 name, or use <TAB> to quickly move between menu items.
 
 `e' makes Info document editable
 --------------------------------
 
    The Info command `e' changes from Info mode to an ordinary Emacs
 editing mode, so that you can edit the text of the current node.  Type
 `C-c C-c' to switch back to Info.  The `e' command is allowed only if
 the variable `Info-enable-edit' is non-`nil'.
 
    The `e' command only works in Emacs, where it runs the command
 `Info-edit'.  The stand-alone Info reader doesn't allow you to edit the
 Info file, so typing `e' there goes to the end of the current node.
