I don't know what version of info you are using, but mine is perfectly
happy with PGUP and PGDN.  It also likes arrow keys, and will even
respond to (to me) perfectly intuitive keyboard commands, like (u)p,
(n)ext, (p)revious, (t)op, (g)oto node, (m)enu item, TAB to move
between links, etc.

If this is too daunting, you can use the online tutorial (press 'h'
for, of all things, HELP) to get a complete interactive runthrough of
Info commands.

Whew, but learning can be hard, can't it?

Gee, info can even do that, too!  Go to the node you want to print
and press ALT-X.  You will be prompted for a command.  Type 'print'
to dump the current node in ASCII format to the PRN device.  If you
want to print it to a file, put the following line in the [info]
section of DJGPP.ENV:

+INFO_PRINT_COMMAND=cat >c:/info.prn

If you don't have 'cat', you can use 'type', and you can of course
call the file anything you want.
