Hello, the content accessed via 'h' (the info.info file) is maintained
in Emacs. Maybe one of their developers could change the text?

(info)Help-^L

   You have just learned a considerable number of commands.  If you want
to use one but have trouble remembering which, you should type '?',
which displays a brief list of commands.  When you are finished looking
at the list, make it go away by typing  repeatedly.

>> Type a  now.  Press  to see consecutive screenfuls of
   the list until finished.  Then type  several times.  If
   you are using Emacs, the help will then go away automatically.
   If you are using the stand-alone Info reader, type 'x' to
   return here.

[help-texinfo] "help" content

I just noticed in the "help" content which is accessed via the key 'h', it is
mentionned that the '?' key stroke should display a brief list of commands. It
actually prompts with a "Regexp search backward: " instead. After doing some
search on internet I found that the right key that works on my version of
texinfo is 'H'. I'm running slackware 14.2, the version of the GNU texinfo
shipped within is 6.1.
