I'm with you in spirit! ;-)  I personally don't like emacs or info pages, 
though I've met some who do.

I find "tkinfo" to be extremely valuable.  As you can tell from the "tk" 
prefix, you'll need to be running X to use it.  Use it like "tkinfo gcc".

Or if you simply redirect "info" to a file, you get "man" style output.  Try 
something like "info gcc > gcc.1" and then more/less the gcc.1 file.

HTH,
