I use the standalone Info reader (named info) if I want to look at the
Info output.
Fair enough, but be careful, while I admit I have not looked in a while, info(gnu) relies on emacs keybindings and a number of very emacs'ish things.
Every time I have tried to deal with it, I have unprogram my fingers and reset them to emacs.
If it would have used more(1) [or even less(1)] then I would not be as annoyed.
Unix had fine tools [man(1), more(1), et al] and rms and friends felt the need to replace them with ITS-like programs.
