You are supposed to type "org" and press RET when it prompts. Because
you know you want to go to the Org manual, right?

Then I don't understand something. Your original request was to name
the buffer "*info*<org>", so that you could type
C-x b *info*<org> RET
to return to it, right? But if you don't remember the name of the
manual, how would you know to type the "<org>" part in the above? And
if you do remember the name of the manual, then how does
C-h R org RET
require more from your memory than
C-x b *info*<org> RET
? What am I missing here?
