You're missing a lot. I'd take 'info' over crappy MS-Help anyday.

Instead of plain text, if you have a PostScript printer, or have GNU\Aladdin
GhostScript installed, it would be much preferable to convert the info files
into PostScript files and then print those (they look much better :). There
are two ways to do this conversion: use the program 'texi2ps' (found in the
'djdev' package) which does a very rough conversion, or get the whole TeX
package and compile the 'source' TeX files into PostScript. The second
method will produce cleaner output, but the first is easier, especially
for the HD-space-impaired (like myself ;)
