I thought that info was an emacs-style viewer thing with its ctrl-key

% Then use the terminal cursor keys, page-up, page-down, home, end,
Heh. That assumes that one has cursor keys and the like. If you need
more than an escape key, it's just junk :-)
Oh, yeah -- and one has to go an install info, too! I guess I'll add
that to my list.
% etc. keys to move around and the enter key to select hypertext links.
% Use 'info info' to read all about reading info.
I've tried that but can never remember the commands since I never use
it, which means I'd have to read info on info before reading any info
on the program in question.
