I don't like the default info browser. The navigation bar on top scrolls
off the screen, and I'm limited to my console font and 24 rows of text.
(And no text highlighting, etc.) I have my emacs set up with a very good
font and since it's in X I can fit a good 40-80 lines on a screen at a
time depending on window size. (I know I can resize my terminal window
beyond 24 lines of course, but I prefer to keep my terminal windows at
24x80 since I'm so used to standard text consoles.)
