I think you missed Matt's point. While you've helped him, the fact remains...
Linux documentation is a shambles.
info, the command, we agree has its problems; the first of which is actually
finding the wretched thing.
As Matt noted, new users won't find how to read it in emacs; emacs alone is
enough to give them a severe fright.
btw, the obvious translation of the hack to xemacs does not work here, I get a
message, "Symbol's function definition is void: info-standalone."
Note; I exclude gnome and kde from the shambles; much of it is quite good, and
once you find the program the documentation's near at hand.
