3 This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the topmost node of the Info
4 hierarchy. The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at that node,
5 which is (dir)Top.
6
7 Rather than adding new nodes to this directory (and this file) it is a better
8 idea to put them in a site-local directory, and then configure info to search
9 in that directory as well. That way, you won't have to re-edit this file when
10 a new release of the editor comes out.
11
12 For example, you could add this code to .../lisp/site-start.el, which is
13 loaded before ~/.emacs each time the editor starts up:
14
15 ;; find local info nodes
16 (setq Info-default-directory-list
17 (append Info-default-directory-list '("/private/info/")))
18
19 Then, when you enter info, the contents of the file "/private/info/localdir"
20 will be appended to the contents of this file (where the "* Locals:" line is.)
21 The "localdir" file should simply contain lines like in this file, listing the
22 names of the info files in its directory.

30 button1 or button2 on a highlighted word follows that cross-reference.
31 button3 anywhere brings up a menu of commands.
32 ? lists additional keyboard commands.
