I tried m right now and it suffices
helm is awesome but I don' t want to install further packages and learn new
things.
I just want to be ushered in the Guix info page right.... now ;-)

I have a reading phobia :-)
My first computer as an adult was an Apple Macintosh
At the time the mantra was that if something required a manual to be read,
it was not well made ;-)
Now, now, I'm perfectly aware of the historical and cultural differences ;-)
I was a young adult back then and changing habits is harder and harder with
the flow of the time
I' ll take a look at the info info page though
You gotta give me I came a loooong way !! :-)
Thank you all people for your suggestions !
Ciao
