Re: Where do you RTFM ?

I LIKE emacs. We were using vi as our only text editor with System V
machines in the late 80s. I found and installed Emacs, within one
week everyone on my faculty was using emacs.

That said, every other point you make here is RIGHT ON. I find info
to be arcane, inspite of its keystrokes being emacs like. 

Html information browsed with a decent TEXT mode browser that is
intutive (OK I know one man's intuitive is another's nightmare)
browser inteface. OK put the keystrokes at the bottom of the page
like Pine or Pico.
