In http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2003-08/msg00155.html
Paul proposed a patch that adds S-TAB to info.el. This is unquestionably
a good change for desktop environments where M-TAB is not available
for Emacs, but S-TAB is a standard key to go to the previous link.
However, on 2003/08/29 you installed a different patch in CVS, that
adds S-TAB and removes M-TAB. I don't know the reason for removing M-TAB
and can't find what led you to it. M-TAB is necessary for ttys where S-TAB
is not available. I think both keys S-TAB and M-TAB should be bound
to the same command. So the same command will be accessible with a key
on all environments.
