If you mean a tutorial for the Info mode, then we already have it:
info.info. You can get to it if you type 'h' in Info mode.

commands in detail.

Thanks, but in long lists of loosely-related items, it is usually
better to arrange them in alphabetical order, since it makes it easier
to find what you need.
