    I think we should remove the text:

    "To follow a link, click Mouse-1 on it, or move to it and type RET."

    It is useless.  Most users already know how to follow a link, because
    everybody uses Web browsers nowadays.  And this text wastes two valuable
    lines on the About screen.

I think the About screen is not crowded.

People know how to follow a link graphically, but on a tty they might
not know how, and they might not be sure these are links.  This message
makes people certain of that.  We may as well keep it.
