Details:
On (info "(grub) Command-line interface")
Note that you cannot use the completion functionality in the TFTP
filesystem. This is because TFTP doesn't support file name listing for
the security.
^^^ remove "the".
On (info "(grub) echo") give an -e example,
so we know if we should use
echo -e \a #or
echo -e \\a #or
echo -e '\a'
On (info "(grub) Command-line and menu entry commands")
"exit" is not listed, but indeed "works" from the
grub>
prompt. Be sure to make a page about it...
Indeed, "c" gets a command line. And on top a message saying to use ESC
to get back out. But then subsequent "c" only get the command line, not
the message. Therefore the user might likely try "exit" at the command
line, getting stuck!
By the way the vbe* commands don't have an INFO page.
And *test commands should mention while showing their test results, how
to exit them and get back to the menu.
(info "(grub) videoinfo") should mention what to do if output is too
long for the screen.
