Bug#645173: "info info" mentions 'h' for the tutorial instead of 'H'



Package: texinfo-doc-nonfree
Version: 4.13a-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

if I run 'info info', it says:

   If you are new to the Info reader and want to learn how to use it,
   type the command `h' now.  It brings you to a programmed instruction
   sequence.

However, if I press 'h', I get a quick help, not the tutorial. For the
tutorial I need to press 'H'.

I wanted to show someone who can't use info how if one types 'info
info', one gets walked through everything and taught how to use it.
Instead the message that comes out is that the system not only has an
interface grown out of historical reasons to be awkward and obscure for
today's standards, but it also does its best to confuse new users even
more by providing false information :(

Luckily, at least the tutorial instruction is easy to fix.


Ciao,

Enrico
