I did `t', `m' and then typed file h ``[No Match]'' was the message that I got. >From the top level of the manual, ``Files'' is the name of the section. I remembered the last chapter name or section name I'd come across (again, `22 File Handling') as I do when I close a book and put it down. Isn't this a disjunction? My post may be interpreted as a complaint, but this looked like an example of the opacity that I sometimes perceive in the documentation of Emacs but don't know how to verbalize. Just looking for an explanation.
