I don't understand how can you say this.  The cursor keys (Left, Right, 
Up and Down arrows) work as you'd expect; PgUp and PgDn keys also work as 
expected; TAB moves to the next menu item or hypertext link, Shift-TAB 
moves back, and RET goes to the link (also pretty much standard in any 
user interface I've seen).  Sure, there are a lot of other commands, but 
you don't have to use them if you don't want to remember them.

Here's a list of commands I use 99% of the time:

	PgUp/PgDn and the arrow keys
	TAB, Shift-TAB and RET to jump to menu items and hypertext links
	`s' - search for a string
	`l' - return to the last visited node

Info files are almost pure ASCII, so you can get that too.
