I just noticed the instruction definitions for the first time the other day. I am using an ipad so I can’t hover, and I can’t remember now how I managed to be able to see an instruction definition note. (I should explain - I’m (effectively) confined to bed due to illness so I don’t use a laptop or desktop PC any more, just the iPad.)

They pull it all from the Intel software developers manual.
