    It's okay as long as we have only one such manual.  You suggested that
    the basics be divided between two.

Put them both first (the first two in dir). Put the `n' and `p' stuff first
in either one or both, for the standalone Info manuals. I don't see why that
can't be done. Does the order within a manual need to be the same in the
Emacs version and the standalone version?

Besides, you seem to be talking about Info *manuals*. My proposal was only
about the Info tutorial. I said (above) "two versions of the tutorial"
(Emacs and standalone Info), and you went off about the order between two
Info manuals in dir (I guess?). I'm afraid you lost me on this.
