ESC rebinding?

[robert marshall]

I'm not aware of rebinding ESC - especially as I get it when run with -Q
but I get lots of claims of this when viewing the tutorial

I also get the following bit highlighted:

  The most basic HELP feature is C-h c.  Type C-h, the character c, and
  a command character or sequence; then Emacs displays a very brief
  description of the command.
  ** The key ESC has been rebound, but you can use  instead [More information] 
**
where the d<esc>cription is misidentified as referring to the ESC
