The introductory course is almost over; please continue
a little longer to learn some intermediate-level commands.
- Most Info files have an index, which is actually a large node that
-contains nothing but a menu. The menu has one menu item for each
-topic listed in the index. You can find the index node from the main
-menu of the file, with the @kbd{m} command; then you can use the
-@kbd{m} command again in the index node to go to the node that
-describes the topic.

+may also include the line number within the node of the index entry.
+This allows Info readers to go to the exact line of an entry, not just
+the start of the containing node.)

There is also a short-cut Info command, @kbd{i}, which does all of
that for you. It searches the index for a given topic (a string) and
looking for a description of a command, an option, or a key, just type
their names when @kbd{i} prompts you for a topic. For example, if you
want to read the description of what the @kbd{C-f} key does, type
-@kbd{iC-f@key{RET}}. Here @kbd{C-f} are 3 literal characters
+@kbd{i C - f @key{RET}}. Here @kbd{C-f} are 3 literal characters
@samp{C}, @samp{-}, and @samp{f}, not the ``Control-f'' command key
you type inside Emacs to run the command bound to @kbd{C-f}.
