Some one needs to put a gag on Mike. He's running dangerously close
to earning the sobriquet `Windbag Harris'.
Mike, your output the last few days has been enormous but mostly hot
air, making it hard to find the good stuff. Slow down Dude, leave
those little white pills alone.
Try `space' and back `space' in info.

Come back out of left field. Try your page up and down in lynx
(default keys), in `less' or `more'. These things way predate the
commands found in netscape.
Lynx pages with `spc' and `-' is that really so different from
`spc' `backspc'?
In fact one could argue that key commands in lynx are rather crazy, its
just that we're used to it.
For someone who took dozens of lines to tell us that intuitiveness is
in the eyes of the beholder, seems your going berzerk here about
something just because your not used to it.

Texinfo is a powerful tool and like other powerful tools it takes some
learning. You didn't learn lynx overnite. I still stumble around in
lynx and use it at least a little almost every day.

Find a sparring partner or something, instead of letting so much off
here. : )
