I meant the first one (I'm sure you know that no SPC character is supposed to be typed in the commands above unless SPC appears by its name). > But I don't really see it at either.

Sorry, this is not always possible, and could even be a bad idea when, as in this case, there's already an index entry that starts with "Info" and points to almost the same place.
