When a command name (see M-x) or
variable name (see Variables) appears in the documentation, it
normally appears inside paired single-quotes. You can click on the name
with Mouse-2, or move point there and type RET
, to view the
documentation of that command or variable. Use C-c C-b to retrace
your steps.
There are convenient commands for moving point to cross references in
the help text. TAB
(help-next-ref
) moves point down to the
next cross reference. Use S-TAB
to move point up to the
previous cross reference (help-previous-ref
).
