info.texi uses "PageDown".

Every time you see @kbd{whatever} in the manual means "type
whatever".  Here's a random example:

    There is a spiffy customize interface, which may be reached by typing
    @kbd{M-x customize-option erc-modules @key{RET}}.

Imagine having everything inside @kbd written with spaces between the
letters!
