1013 If you are reading Info in Emacs, you can select a new independent
1014Info buffer in another window by typing @kbd{M-n}. The new buffer
1015starts out as an exact copy of the old one, but you will be able to
1016move independently between nodes in the two buffers. (In Info mode,
1017@kbd{M-n} runs the Emacs command @code{clone-buffer}.)
1018
1019 In Emacs Info, you can also produce new Info buffers by giving a
1020numeric prefix argument to the @kbd{m} and @kbd{g} commands. @kbd{C-u
1021m} and @kbd{C-u g} go to a new node in exactly the same way that
1022@kbd{m} and @kbd{g} do, but they do so in a new Info buffer which they
1023select in another window.
