I'm not sure.  To me `g RET' does not make sense.  The user has not made
his/her selection so I think we should disallow it or just force the
user to make a valid selection.  I don't know what the "standard
behavior" is these days, so I'll trust that you will know what is best.

I tested the change of list/info.el that you provded.
It seems to do exactly what I hoped it would do.

Thanks for such a quick fix.
Thanks also for taking time to improve the manual.
