Hi,

Just struggling with weird behavior in find and went looking through the
texinfo doc for find.  I was reminded of how hard it's always been for me to
grok the "info" program.

So I broke down and looked at the manual page...which told me nothing about
how to actually use the program.  Nothing about the keybindings, what a
texinfo document is, etc.  

Giving a brief summary of the useful command keys would go a long way.  

Looking at your NEWS it looks like you've made some strides to make info
easier to use for the uninitiated, which i applaud, thank you very much.
