OPTIONS

       --help Produces a short help message.

       -/+headers

              Default is on.

       -/+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 characters 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 directories specified with -dir will be
              searched first, in the order 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  automatically  try  the  suffixes  .Z,  .z, and .gz and deal with the
              compressed 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.
