I made a texinfo file using
texinfo file.texi
However, when I load the info file, the links with @menu do not work.
Is there some prodecure to
see the links in Emacs?

Hi Christopher,
Would you feel okay sharing the file in question? I feel it would be
easier for us to diagnose the problem.

What is the command 'texinfo'? what does it do? I don't have such a
command on my system. Did you mean 'makeinfo', perhaps?

That's right. It is makeinfo. I have then done
C-u C-h i file
and it works
Is tht how you view the resulting file.info?

Yes.
You should also consider running "install-info file" (from the shell's
prompt) to add its entry to the DIR file.

I think this diagnostics is quite self-explanatory, no?
I suggest to consult the Texinfo manual if you are unsure how to
correctly write these constructs in Texinfo.

I see, the problem was the @ifclear when I wantnd to include the file.
Must be @ifset.
In my intro file I have addes a menu apter @chapter and before the
first @section
Put everything in a @macro
@macro Gela-Menu
@menu
* Modifier-Keys:: Modifier Keys on Lisp Machine Keyboards.
* Key-Mnemonics:: Mnemonics that identify specific keys.
* Composing-KeySeq:: Composing Key Sequences.
* Complete-Kbd:: Complete Key Bindings.
* Docu-KeySeq:: Documentationm of Key Sequences.
* Emacs-Tutorials-Eww:: Emacs Tutorials and View Web Pages with Eww.
* Docu-Function:: Documentation of Functions.
* Intactv-Function:: Interactive Functions.
* UPrefix-Argument:: The Universal Prefix Argument.
* Fnc-ArgSet-PrPfx:: Setting Function Arguments by Prompt or Prefix.
@end menu
@end macro
@Gela-Menu
But makeinfo complains if I try to call @Gela-Menu after each section.
How can one go about having the menu also show after each section. It
would be much easier to read as when you finish reading, one won't have
to
scroll up to the top of the buffer to select Introduction, which is the
Chapter Title

You cannot have the same @menu after each section without also
updating the corresponding @node lines.
This is not an Emacs issue, this is a Texinfo issue, so I suggest to
ask this on the help-texinfo list instead.
