I changed the existing entry to say "HOME key". The other one now
mentions it's an environment variable.

Yes, I still use the old makeinfo to produce the manual, and this
subtle difference seems to be one more incompatibility of the new
versions. I fixed that.

I guess this is a question for Dani, who produced the files.
I think the bug can now be closed.
