 9.2 Window Commands
 ===================
 
 It can be convenient to view more than one node at a time.  To allow
 this, Info can display more than one "window".  Each window has its own
 mode line (The Mode Line) and history of nodes viewed in that
 window ('history-node' Node Commands.).
 
 'C-x o' ('next-window')
      Select the next window on the screen.  Note that the echo area can
      only be selected if it is already in use, and you have left it
      temporarily.  Normally, 'C-x o' simply moves the cursor into the
      next window on the screen, or if you are already within the last
      window, into the first window on the screen.  Given a numeric
      argument, 'C-x o' moves over that many windows.  A negative
      argument causes 'C-x o' to select the previous window on the
      screen.
 
 'M-x prev-window'
      Select the previous window on the screen.  This is identical to
      'C-x o' with a negative argument.
 
 'C-x 2' ('split-window')
      Split the current window into two windows, both showing the same
      node.  Each window is one half the size of the original window, and
      the cursor remains in the original window.  The variable
      'automatic-tiling' can cause all of the windows on the screen to be
      resized for you automatically ('automatic-tiling'
      Variables.).
 
 'C-x 0' ('delete-window')
      Delete the current window from the screen.  If you have made too
      many windows and your screen appears cluttered, this is the way to
      get rid of some of them.
 
 'C-x 1' ('keep-one-window')
      Delete all of the windows excepting the current one.
 
 'ESC C-v' ('scroll-other-window')
      Scroll the other window, in the same fashion that 'C-v' might
      scroll the current window.  Given a negative argument, scroll the
      "other" window backward.
 
 'C-x ^' ('grow-window')
      Grow (or shrink) the current window.  Given a numeric argument,
      grow the current window that many lines; with a negative numeric
      argument, shrink the window instead.
 
 'C-x t' ('tile-windows')
      Divide the available screen space among all of the visible windows.
      Each window is given an equal portion of the screen in which to
      display its contents.  The variable 'automatic-tiling' can cause
      'tile-windows' to be called when a window is created or deleted.
      'automatic-tiling' Variables.
