If you have managed to get here, go back to the beginning with
@kbd{DEL}, and come back here again, then you understand Space and
DEL.  So now type an @kbd{n} ---just one character; don't type
the quotes and don't type the Return key afterward--- to
get to the normal start of the course.

  The Space, Backspace (or DEL) and @kbd{b} commands exist to allow
you to ``move around'' in a node that does not all fit on the screen
at once.  Space moves forward, to show what was below the bottom of
the screen.  DEL or Backspace moves backward, to show what was above
the top of the screen (there is not anything above the top until you
have typed some spaces).  In Emacs, Space runs the command
@code{Info-scroll-up}, while Backspace runs @code{Info-scroll-down}.

@format
>> Now try typing a Space (afterward, type a Backspace to return here).

  The Space, Backspace (or DEL)@footnote{The key which we call
``Backspace or DEL'' in this manual is labeled differently on
different keyboards.  Look for a key which is a little ways above the
@key{ENTER} or @key{RET} key and which you normally use outside Emacs
to erase the character before the cursor, i.e.@: the character you
typed last.  It might be labeled @samp{Backspace} or @samp{<-} or
@samp{DEL}, or sometimes @samp{Delete}.} and @kbd{b} commands exist to
allow you to ``move around'' in a node that does not all fit on the
screen at once.  Space moves forward, to show what was below the
bottom of the screen.  DEL or Backspace moves backward, to show what
was above the top of the screen (there is not anything above the top

@code{Info-scroll-up}, while Backspace runs @code{Info-scroll-down}.
