53
54       The  first  non-option argument, if present, is the menu entry to start
55       from; it is searched for in all 'dir' files along INFOPATH.  If  it  is
56       not present, info merges all 'dir' files and shows the result.  Any re‐
57       maining arguments are treated as the names of menu  items  relative  to
58       the initial node visited.
59
60       For a summary of key bindings, type H within Info.
