1.3 Returning to the Previous node

This node is called `Help-P'. The `Previous' node, as you see, is `Help', which is the one you just came from using the n command. Another n command now would take you to the next node, `Help-^L'. In Emacs, n runs the Emacs command Info-next, and p runs Info-prev.

 
>> But do not type n yet.  First, try the p command,
   or click the mouse on the `Prev' link, which takes you to the
   `Previous' node.  When you get there, you can do an n
   again to return here.

If you read this in Emacs, you will see an `Info' item in the menu bar, close to its right edge. Clicking your mouse on the `Info' menu-bar item opens a menu of commands which include `Next' and `Prev' (and also some others which you didn't yet learn about).

This all probably seems insultingly simple so far, but do not be led into skimming. Things will get more complicated soon. Also, do not try a new command until you are told it is time to. Otherwise, you may make Info skip past an important warning that was coming up.

 
>> Now do an n, or click the mouse on the `Next' link, to
   get to the node `Help-^L' and learn more.
