    * doc/info-stnd.texi (Node Commands): Do not link to emacs manual
    for explanation of M-x, as this contains much irrelevant material.
    State that M-x is 'execute-command'.  Give example using previously
    documented command.  Change ALT to Alt and CTRL to Ctrl, as well
    as META to Meta.
