In GNU Emacs 19.22.1 of Sat Apr 2 1994 on brauer (berkeley-unix) I'm using Emacs on a VT320 terminal attached to a Sparcstation 1+. The terminal type is set to VT100. In LaTeX mode, I did C-h m to check mode documenation, and found the following line: Use menu-bar tex validate-tex-buffer to check buffer for paragraphs containing mismatched $'s or braces. This would be correct documentation in a windowing system which had a menu bar; however, I'm on an ordinary terminal, and thus need to use M-x to call the command. I don't think in-text documentation which looks up a command should refer to commands on the menu-bar unless one exists.
