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, 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.
