+       Re-write, describing completion and selection of nodes in other 
+       files separately.  The old text implied that you could select a 
+       node in another file without using a filename if that file had 
+       been loaded already in the current Info session.
+       Benno Schuleberg noticed that the text contained the phrase
+       "the Info file of the other file", which was wrong.
