M-x customize RET shows you information about customize groups.
The top of the Custom buffer has a Help link to the manual's description.
You're right. Sorry, operator ignorance. Don't know how I missed the Help
button. (Button overdose, perhaps.)
3. possible to have a version of the Info section on customize
that reflects the UI on a window system?
I don't understand.
Info is text-only; the customize interface I see (with a window system) has
buttons and looks a bit different. That's all.
4. As to customize itself, it would be clearer if buttons that acted
only as
links looked like links. Buttons should be reserved for real
_actions_. Too
many buttons(!) -- most of which are not. Also, instead of having
this:
How should a link look?
Like a link in Info, for instance, or in common Web browsers. Info links
don't interfere much with reading the text. By default they are just blue
text (purple for visited links). I think this was maybe my main message:
just change buttons that are not action buttons to look like Info links. And
using a different link color for visited links ("buttons"), as in Info, also
helps navigation.
