emacs has it's place, and it's keystroke design makes sense, *for an editor*.
...but info maintains keystroke compatibility with emacs... it's great for
consistency, from one point of view (ie, someone who knows emacs) ... but
looking at it from the point of view of a hypertext browser, it's a very poor
