Info directory (dir): Emacs heading different from Menu heading

[Drew Adams]

emacs -q
C-h i

In the left column are two headings: "* Menu" and "Emacs". It looks a
bit odd that Menu is preceded by an asterisk. Is this just a vestige
of older versions of Emacs? Is it perhaps still needed for emacs on a
terminal (no window mgr)? In any case, it looks odd in normal Emacs.

The Info manual says that "* Menu" determines a menu, so the Info
manual will need to be updated if the appearance is updated. This is
the same as what happened to "*Note": that text is now hidden, so the
Info manual was updated so it now reads without mention of "*Note".
(Actually, no change to the manual was needed in that case, because
the text simply says "Cross references look like this:". The change in
appearance of the cross reference sufficed to update the manual's
description of that appearance.)
