+       * info/info.c (info_short_help): Change "options" to 
+       "frequently-used options" and remove documentation of several 
+       options: --dribble, --raw-escapes, --no-raw-escapes, --restore,
+       --strict-node-location, --vi-keys, --debug.  (All of these are
+       still documented in full in the manual.)  Only show one example
+       of loading a manual for the Info program.  Reformat one example.
+       Remove a blank line from the output.
