 Following Cross-References
 ==========================
 
    In Info documentation, you will see many "cross references".  Cross
 references look like this:  Cross Help-Cross.  That text is a
 real, live cross reference, whose name is `Cross' and which points to
 the node named `Help-Cross'.
 
    There are two ways to follow a cross reference.  You can move the
 cursor to it and press <RET>, just as in a menu.  <RET> follows the
 cross reference that the cursor is on.  Or you can type `f' and then
 specify the name of the cross reference (in this case, `Cross') as an
 argument.  In Emacs Info, `f' runs `Info-follow-reference',
 
    In the `f' command, you select the cross reference with its name, so
 it does not matter where the cursor was.  If the cursor is on or near a
 cross reference, `f' suggests that reference name in parentheses as the
 default; typing <RET> will follow that reference.  However, if you type
 a different reference name, `f' will follow the other reference which
 has that name.
 
 >> Type f, followed by Cross, and then <RET>.
 
    As you enter the reference name, you can use the <DEL> (or
 <BACKSPACE>) key to edit your input.  If you change your mind about
 following any reference, you can use `Control-g' to cancel the command.
 Completion is available in the `f' command; you can complete among all
 the cross reference names in the current node by typing a <TAB>.
 
    To get a list of all the cross references in the current node, you
 can type `?' after an `f'.  The `f' continues to await a cross
 reference name even after displaying the list, so if you don't actually
 want to follow a reference, you should type a `Control-g' to cancel the
 `f'.
 
 >> Type f? to get a list of the cross references in this node.  Then
    type a Control-g and see how the `f' gives up.
 
    The <TAB> and `M-<TAB>' key, which move between menu items in a
 menu, also move between cross references outside of menus.
