Actually, I have another gripe about Info... (maybe it's just the lazy
ranting of a malcontent). Info isn't particularly fast. Not to mention I
haven't mastered the arcana of moving through nodes with the thing.. is
there mouse support, anyway? One thing about Emacs on X Window systems is
that there is mouse support..

Actually, I don't totally buy the FSF's idea that man pages are obsolete..
if I want to get the syntax of a C library function, I'd rather do a "man
select" than wade through multi-megabytes of Info file to find it..

Just my 0.02
