[ Internally, they are constructed using the values of
`Info-current-file' and `Info-current-node' in the info mode buffer. ]

The doc string says "Insert reference to current Info node [...] in
buffer". Inserting something in info mode should just signal an error
("Buffer is read-only"). The typical use case is:
- Navigate to the manual node in question
- Go (back) to the other buffer (mail buffer, ...) where you want to
place the reference.
- Do `M-x rs-info-insert-current-node RET'

`rs-info-goto-node-string' is a variable, not a command.
Bye, Reiner.
