This Emacs FAQ link could go on the line above or below the last textblock
on the *About GNU Emacs* buffer which is the first thing a new user sees.

Without knowing anything I either search online or use the
"Info-virtual-index" function on "The Emacs Editor" Infopage.

Searching "xterm" gives

 > * Menu:
 > 
 > * xterm [Concept Index]:                 Text-Only Mouse. (line 8)
 > * background mode, on xterm [Concept Index]: General Variables. (line 137)
