[ale] info

[Gary Maltzen]

Under RH 6.1, invoking 'info' (or 'info whizbang') gets me...

----------------------------------------------------------------
File: dir       Node: Top       This is the top of the INFO tree

  This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics. 
  Typing "q" exits, "?" lists all Info commands, "d" returns here,
  "h" gives a primer for first-timers,
  "mEmacs<Return>" visits the Emacs topic, etc.

  In Emacs, you can click mouse button 2 on a menu item or cross reference
  to select it.

* Menu: 
----------------------------------------------------------------

FWIW, invoking 'rpm -qa | grep info' yields...

    info-3.12h-2
    procinfo-17-1
    texinfo-3.12h-2

And the (compressed) info docs are stored in /usr/info

> Just out of curiosity, is "info" properly installed on
> -anyone's- system? Many GNU manpages contain a helpful
> note similar to:
> 
> "Complete documentation for whizbang is available only in
> Texinfo format. [At this point my teeth grind.] If the
> whizbang command and info are both installed properly, then
> the command
> 
> info whizbang
> 
> will let you view the info page for whizbang."
