+permits operations to display intermediate results or
 information about the progress of the algorithms.
 Information is always given according to one or more <E>info classes</E>. Each of the
 info classes defined in the &GAP; library usually covers a certain range
 of algorithms, so for example <C>InfoLattice</C> covers all the cyclic extension
 algorithms for the computation of a subgroup lattice.

-Ab initio all info classes have level zero except
-<Ref Func="InfoWarning"/> which initially has level 1.

+Note that not all info classes defined in the &GAP; library are currently

+typically documented in the corresponding package documentation.

+The amount of information to be displayed by each info class can be separately
+specified by the user. This is done by selecting a non-negative integer
+<E>level</E> for the info class: no information will be displayed at level 0,
+and the higher the level, the more information that will be displayed. At
+creation, an info class has level 0. By default, all built-in GAP info classes
+have level 0, except for the following info classes, which have level 1:
