 Some advanced Info commands
 ===========================
 
    The course is almost over, so please stick with it to the end.
 
    If you have been moving around to different nodes and wish to
 retrace your steps, the `l' command (`l' for "last") will do that, one
 node-step at a time.  As you move from node to node, Info records the
 nodes where you have been in a special history list.  The `l' command
 revisits nodes in the history list; each successive `l' command moves
 one step back through the history.
 
    If you have been following directions, ad `l' command now will get
 you back to `Help-M'.  Another `l' command would undo the `u' and get
 you back to `Help-FOO'.  Another `l' would undo the `m' and get you
 back to `Help-M'.
 
    >> Try typing three `l''s, pausing in between to see what each
 `l' does.
 
    Then follow directions again and you will end up back here.
 
    Note the difference between `l' and `p': `l' moves to where _you_
 last were, whereas `p' always moves to the node which the header says
 is the `Previous' node (from this node, to `Help-M').
 
    The `d' command gets you instantly to the Directory node.  This
 node, which is the first one you saw when you entered Info, has a menu
 which leads (directly, or indirectly through other menus), to all the
 nodes that exist.
 
    >> Try doing a `d', then do an `l' to return here (yes,    _do_
 return).
 
    Sometimes, in Info documentation, you will see a cross reference.
 Cross references look like this:  Cross Help-Cross.  That is a
 real, live cross reference which is named `Cross' and points at the
 node named `Help-Cross'.
 
    If you wish to follow a cross reference, you must use the `f'
 command.  The `f' must be followed by the cross reference name (in this
 case, `Cross').  While you enter the name, you can use the Delete key
 to edit your input.  If you change your mind about following any
 reference, you can use `Control-g' to cancel the command.
 
    Completion is available in the `f' command; you can complete among
 all the cross reference names in the current node by typing a Tab.
 
    >> Type `f', followed by `Cross', and a <RET>.
 
    To get a list of all the cross references in the current node, you
 can type `?' after an `f'.  The `f' continues to await a cross
 reference name even after printing the list, so if you don't actually
 want to follow a reference, you should type a `Control-g' to cancel the
 `f'.
 
    >> Type "f?" to get a list of the cross references in this node.
 Then    type a `Control-g' and see how the `f' gives up.
 
    >> Now type `n' to see the last node of the course.
