Stand-alone Info provides the following command:

1. `M-x history-node` (bound to `l`)

Emacs Info provides the following commands:

1. `M-x Info-history-back` (bound to `l`)
2. `M-x Info-history-forward` (bound to `r`)

Unlike Emacs Info, stand-alone Info does not provide a command to
navigate forward through the node history. I find this feature very
useful, and its absence is quite inconvenient. I would appreciate it
if this functionality could be added to stand-alone Info.

I still remember reading the following passage in `(info)Help-Int`
when I first started using Texinfo:

> You can use the ‘r’ command (‘Info-history-forward’ in Emacs) to revisit 
> nodes in the history list in the forward direction, so that ‘r’ will return 
> you to the node you came from by typing ‘l’.

It took me a while to realize that the `r` command is only available
in Emacs Info and that stand-alone Info has no corresponding command.
