I don't care. If the text console version of the info program didn't suck
so badly, I might be thinking better thoughts about info files, but I
don't, so RMS can go suck his left nut for dreaming up such a horrid user
interface. (And yes, I know there are alternatives like tkinfo but
they're x-based)

Hmm.. maybe I can throw away the info program and write a better one that
works the same way Lynx does. 

Cheers,
