    Of course, Emacs users must also be able to learn how to use Emacs
    Info.  Emacs Info is too close to the standalone Info to justify two
    separate manuals, especially since many people may want to learn how
    to use both readers and we should not force them to read two manuals
    most of whose contents just duplicate each other.

Absolutely right.

    The Info reader has no menu bar and no Emacs style header line.
    Scroll bars and mice do not seem to work with it.

I did not know that.

We should make it support X (I will add that to our task list).  In
the mean time, this means that the Info tutorial must not assume a
mouse.

Nonetheless, some of the suggested changes that Drew made are good ones.
The topic of invisible text is confusing, and some of the commands
could be done in a different order.
