The Info System

On Linux there is an additional help system that gives access to information organised into pages with links. It is a (little) bit like a text only Internet web of local pages. For example try:-

info

which leads to help on info itself. Its worth working through it, but here are a few notes for the impatient:-

• Any line that starts with a * is a menu link. Move the cursor, using the arrow keys, to that line and press RETURN to go to that menu.

• Press space to view the next screen of the current topic.

• Press Delete to view the previous screen of the current topic.

• Press l (last) to retrace your steps.

• Press u (up) to go up to a more global topic.

• Press n (next) to go to the next topic.

• Press p (previous) to go to the previous topic.

• Press q (quit) to exit.
