this is so you need not count how many entries are there. In Emacs,
the digit keys run the command @code{Info-nth-menu-item}.
If your display supports multiple fonts, and you are using Emacs'
Info mode to read Info files, the @samp{*} for the fifth menu item
stands out, either in color or in some other attribute, such as
underline, and so is the @samp{*} for the ninth item; this makes it
easy to see at a glance which number to use for an item.

@subheading @kbd{M-n} creates a new independent Info buffer in Emacs
@kindex M-n @r{(Info mode)}
@findex clone-buffer
@cindex multiple Info buffers
If you are reading Info in Emacs, you can select a new independent
Info buffer in another window by typing @kbd{M-n}. The new buffer
starts out as an exact copy of the old one, but you will be able to
move independently between nodes in the two buffers. (In Info mode,
@kbd{M-n} runs the Emacs command @code{clone-buffer}.)
In Emacs Info, you can also produce new Info buffers by giving a
numeric prefix argument to the @kbd{m} and @kbd{g} commands. @kbd{C-u
m} and @kbd{C-u g} go to a new node in exactly the same way that
@kbd{m} and @kbd{g} do, but they do so in a new Info buffer which they
select in another window.
