That's exactly what it means.  Any new Info files you obtain that aren't
already listed in the Info menu can be manually added by editing the
file %DJDIR%/info/dir.  The format should be fairly self-explanatory;
just follow the same format used by the other menu entries.  There's
also a utility that is supposed to automatically update the Info menu,
but I've never used it.

As an ironic twist, the DJGPP FAQ is among the Info files that the
default DJGPP distribution doesn't already have in the menu, unless this
has changed since I first downloaded v2.01.  :-)
