A few years ago, I was introduced to pinfo[0] for reading info pages, it's
more like using the lynx browser to read info docs rather than the emacs

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.
