Well, as you said, YMMV, but I used to be annoyed with info, and I agree that the keybindings were non-intuitive, but things are quite a bit better now. At the very least, the arrow and paging keys finally work. And for those interested, "l" (go back to the last location) and "Ctrl-s" (recursive incremental search) are both quite useful. > Ok, so I have to install yet another application capable of reading info > files just to get relevant information on a command?

It's an old observation, but how to you recursively search an html tree for the info you want (like Ctrl-s in info, Meta-s in emacs, or "/" in manpages with less?) -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint = E8 0E 0D 04 F5 21 A0 94 53 2B 97 F5 D6 4E 39 30
