+Elpher's navigation interface is inspired by the Emacs Info mode.
+Movement within a page is essentially the same as moving
+around any other text file in Emacs, but with special keys
+for quickly jumping between menu items and URLs in text files.
+Movement between pages is facilitated by a simple linear history
+coupled with caching of pages and cursor position.

-Within a single page
+To move about within a page, you should be able use the same keys you usually
+use to browse files in Emacs.  This is even true when Evil mode is
+enabled. Paragraph hopping, searching etc should work as usual.
+
+In addition, the following commands are provided for quickly moving between
+links and menu items.
+
+@table @asis
+@item @kbd{tab}  (@code{elpher-next-link})
+Move to the next link or menu item in the file.
+
+@item @kbd{<S-tab>}/@kbd{<backtab}  (@code{elpher-prev-link})
+Move to the previous link or menu item in the file.
+
+@item @kbd{m}  (@code{elpher-jump})
+Jump directly to a link within a file by specifying its display string
+or link text.  (Unlike the previous two commands, this immediately opens
+the selected link.
+@end table
+
+The following commands can be used to retrieve information about the
+current page, or the address of the link at point:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @kbd{i}  (@code{elpher-info-link})
+Display host, port and selector information for the link at point.
+
+@item @kbd{I}  (@code{elpher-info-current})
+Display host, port and selector information for the current page.
+
+@item @kbd{c}  (@code{elpher-copy-link-url})
+Add URL representing address of link at point to the kill-ring and the
+system clipboard (if available).
+
+@item @kbd{C}  (@code{elpher-copy-current-url})
+Add URL representing address of the current page to the kill-ring and
+the system clipboard (if available).

-@node Bookmarks, Customization, Navigation, Top
+Moving to a different page can be accomplished in several ways,
+described by the following commands:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @kbd{RET}, @kbd{mouse-1}  (@code{elpher-follow-link})
+Follow the menu item or link at point (or selected with the mouse).
+@end table
+
+Exactly what is meant by ``follow'' depends on the kind of item selected.
+For text or menu type items or links, the curent page text is replaced
+by the text of this item.
+
+Once a text, menu or query response page is retrieved, its contents are
+cached for the duration of the Emacs session.
