It is bound to g, . (Info-goto-node nodename &optional fork) Go to info node named nodename. Give just nodename or (FILENAME)nodename. If nodename is of the form (FILENAME)nodename, the node is in the Info file FILENAME; otherwise, nodename should be in the current Info file (or one of its sub-files). Completion is available, but only for node names in the current Info file. If fork is non-nil (interactively with a prefix arg), show the node in a new info buffer. If fork is a string, it is the name to use for the new buffer. -- Stein Arild Strømme +47 55584825, +47 95801887 Universitetet i Bergen Fax: +47 55589672 Matematisk institutt www.mi.uib.no/stromme/ Johs Brunsg 12, N-5008 BERGEN stromme@mi.uib.no
