version, "i Info RET" lands me on the first paragraph of the node
"Misc Help", where the second paragraph describes the feature you
wanted.

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.
