In the preface to the Emacs manual, it is recommended that the reader first
access the tutorial with "C-h t". However, I'm not sure if the target
audience for that particular paragraph will know what that means -- that
is, to hold down Shift and h, release, and then type 't'. I am concerned
this instruction might confuse them.

Also, it seems the HTML version is missing this preface entirely. Why is
that the case?

Thanks,
