Hi Catonano,

As Arun and Oleg said, 'm' is very useful (maybe with C-u), and = 9;d'
too.=C2=A0 And there is the 'info-display-manual' command too.
<= /blockquote>

I tried m right now and it suffices

=
helm is awesome but I don' t want to install further package= s and learn new things.
I just want to be ushered in the Guix= info page right....=C2=A0 now ;-)
=C2=A0
But what you should really do (in my humble opinion :-)) is to read the
(info "info") manual.=C2=A0 It is very well done and explains eve= rything in
an interactive way.

I have a reading ph= obia :-)

My first computer as an adult was an Apple Macin= tosh

At the time the mantra was that if something require= d 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 h= arder with the flow of the time

I&= #39; 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
