1.1 Starting Info on a Small Screen

(In Info, you only see this section if your terminal has a small number of lines; most readers pass by it without seeing it.)

Since your terminal has a relatively small number of lines on its screen, it is necessary to give you special advice at the beginning.

If you see the text `--All----' near the bottom right corner of the screen, it means the entire text you are looking at fits on the screen. If you see `--Top----' instead, it means that there is more text below that does not fit. To move forward through the text and see another screen full, press SPC, the Space bar. To move back up, press the key labeled `Backspace' or `DEL' (on some keyboards, this key might be labeled `Delete').

Here are 40 lines of junk, so you can try SPC and DEL and see what they do. At the end are instructions of what you should do next.

This is line 20 This is line 21 This is line 22 This is line 23 This is line 24 This is line 25 This is line 26 This is line 27 This is line 28 This is line 29 This is line 30 This is line 31 This is line 32 This is line 33 This is line 34 This is line 35 This is line 36 This is line 37 This is line 38 This is line 39 This is line 40 This is line 41 This is line 42 This is line 43 This is line 44 This is line 45 This is line 46 This is line 47 This is line 48 This is line 49 This is line 50 This is line 51 This is line 52 This is line 53 This is line 54 This is line 55 This is line 56 This is line 57 This is line 58 This is line 59

If you have managed to get here, go back to the beginning with DEL (or BACKSPACE), and come back here again, then you understand the about the `Space' and `Backspace' keys. So now type an n --just one character; don't type the quotes and don't type the Return key afterward-- to get to the normal start of the course.
