I would like to learn how to use the info pages - i.e. the documentation for GNU programs.
If I run info from a terminal, the info program launches
File: dir, Node: Top, This is the top of the INFO tree.
This is the Info main menu (aka directory node).
A few useful Info commands:
'q' quits;
'?' lists all Info commands;
'h' starts the Info tutorial;
'mTexinfo RET' visits the Texinfo manual, etc.
however if I type h I get a man page for info, not the info tutorial. How can I launch the tutorial?

If you need to write a info page, you can copy a info page and edit it.

You can try starting from the command line with info info. Also, my info accepts H to enter the tutorial.
