+		Installing Info Files
+
+Info is the GNU project on-line documentation format. You can read
+info files either from within Emacs (Ctrl-h i) or using the
+stand-alone Info reader, 'info'.
+
+If you use the default install root of '/usr/local' then the info
+files will be installed in '/usr/local/info'.
+
+Many GNU/Linux distributions are set up to put all of their
+documentation in '/usr/info', in which case you might have to do a
+couple of things to get your environment set up to accommodate files
+in both areas:
+
+1. Add an INFOPATH environment variable. The easiest place to do
+this is '/etc/profile', right next to PATH and MANPATH:
+
+INFOPATH=/usr/local/info:/usr/info
+
+2. Create a file called 'dir' in 'usr/local/info'. Use the file
+'/usr/info/dir' as a template. You can add the line for gforth
+manually, or use '/sbin/install-info' (man install-info for details).
