description of global-next-node is incorrect

When doing 'info/ginfo doc/info-stnd.info global-next-node'
it says:

"""
If the node that you are currently viewing has a 'Next' pointer,
that node is selected.  Otherwise, if this node has a menu, the
first menu item is selected.
"""

It is the other way around: if the node has a menu, its first
item is selected; if it has no menu but has a Next pointer, that
pointer is followed; if neither of those, then an Up node is sought
that does have a Next pointer, until the top node of the current
document is reached.

Apart from that, in the description of goto-node it says:
"and you must include the Info file of the other file."
I think that should say something like
"and you must include the name of that other Info file."
