OPTIONS
       --help Produces a short help message.

	      Turns on/off display of the raw info node	headers	in  the	 first

       -/+balloons
	      Turns on/off balloonhelp for the buttons.	Default	is on.

       -/+scrollthrough
	      Turns  on/off  jumping  to the successor node when attempting to
	      scroll at	the bottom of a	node. Default is on.

       -/+pagesep
	      Turns on/off inserting of	page separators	when  scrolling	 page-
	      wise.  Default is	on.

       -/+showdir
	      Turns  on/off  showing  the  full	pathname of the	displayed info
	      file. Default is off.

       -linklook type
	      Specifies	how to display	cross  references  and	menu  entries.
	      type  must be one	of "color", "font", or "underline". Default is
	      "color" on color displays	and "underline"	 on  black  and	 white
	      displays.

       -highlight type
	      Specifies	 how to	highlight links.  type must be one of "color",
	      "inverse", or "underline". Default is "inverse".

       -searchlook type
	      Specifies	how to highlight matches after searches.  type must be
	      one of "color", "inverse", or "underline". Default is "inverse".

       -geometry geom
	      Geometry of the window.  geom must be of the form	XxY+A+B	or XxY
	      or +A+B, where X and Y specify the size of the window in charac-
	      ters and A and B the location in pixels.

       -display	display
	      X	display	to use for the tkinfo window.

       -iconic
	      Start the	first window in	iconic state.

       -dir dir
	      Specifies	directories to search for info files, in  addition  to
	      those  contained	in the INFOPATH	environment variable.  The di-
	      rectories	specified with -dir will be searched first, in the or-
	      der given.

       node   Specifies	the info node to visit initially. Possible formats for
	      node are:
		"(filename)nodename"  most general
		"(filename)"	      equivalent to (filename)Top
		"filename"	      equivalent to (filename).

       If filename is not absolute, the	info directories  (from	 INFOPATH  and
       -dir)  will  be	searched.  If filename cannot be found,	its lower case
       version will be tried.

       An alternative way to specify the node "(FILE)NODE" is with "-file FILE
       -node NODE".

       If no node is given, the	default	node "(dir)Top"	is used.

ENVIRONMENT
       INFOPATH
	      A	colon (``:'') separated	list of	directories to search for info
	      files. More directories can be given with	-dir  options,	above.
	      If  not  set,  tkinfo will try various standard directories that
	      should be	ok for most systems.

       INFOSUFFIX
	      A	colon separated	list of	file suffixes to  try  when  searching
	      for  an  info file. If not set, tkinfo will try the suffixes "",
	      ".info", and "-info". In addition, tkinfo	will always  automati-
	      cally  try  the  suffixes	.Z, .z,	and .gz	and deal with the com-
	      pressed file if necessary.

SEE ALSO
       The program documents itself in the info	format:	start it and type 'h'.
       Customization via X resources is	also documented	in that	way.
