     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.
