man pages

Just FYI, dealing with "info" can be made less painful
(in some circumstances) because info changes its
behavior when it detects that its output isn't a tty.
So if you don't want to mess around navigating info's
hierarchy you can just pipe it to less (or even to
a file) and then deal with it on your terms, as in:

   info bash | less

...which is no more painful than reading a man page.
