If you evaluate (by typing C-x C-e) the following Lisp expression from
within Emacs, then the built-in Info reader should be displayed at the
"Completion" section of the "Minibuffer" chapter in the Emacs user

   (info "(emacs) Completion")

You could also copy that expression and paste it after the "Eval: "
prompt following the key sequence M-:
