Hi, Atul I assume you are using the Info standalone program for viewing Info files (most things work similarly for the Info mode of Emacs). You pass arguments to commands by typing C-u (CTRL-u) before the command. If you type, for example, 'C-n', Info moves down one line. If you type C-u 12 C-n, it moves down 12 lines. Simply typing C-u once, without a number, means passing the argument 4, twice C-u passes four times that, and so on. This is described in the Info manual, under "11 Miscellaneous Commands". Hope that helps :) -- tomás
