     Topics in this on-line documentation are in a hierarchy. You move
     from topic to topic by selecting the words in  . These words
     are called buttons. There are four standard ones always on the
     top line, which is called the button bar. They take you to:
 
     Up         Topic above in the hierarchy (in (↑...) by the title)
     Contents   Table of Contents
     Index      Index
     Back       Topic you just came from
 
     Sometimes there is a Key button, taking you to a topic that
     explains notation. So that you can return easily, Key topics
     have an extra Back button in the same position.
 
     Other buttons on the button bar take you to neighboring topics.
 
     A format selector is a group of buttons offering variants of a
     topic. The button for the variant displayed is highlighted.
 
     Other buttons in   take you down the hierarchy or are
     cross-references across the hierarchy. In topics that present
     menus, cross-references across the hierarchy are in  .
     Selecting such a hot-spot and then selection "Up" will not return
     to the menu topic you came from.
