To be honest, I couldn't really see pinfo offering me anything better (both seemed awful), other than colour highlighting of the interactive bits (which, otherwise, you have to find by a bit of guesswork). You still have a painful hop, skip, and a jump, method of traversing a document. And they don't seem to understand the concept of going backwards means going to back to the prior screen, not the top of the page of the prior bit you were reading. Grrr, read page, jump to another page, go back, scroll back down the first page to where you were up to, carry on reading and following links. "yelp info:grub" was far less painful to navigate, though it's a GUI tool (rather like using a web page with frames - navigational links in a border, the content in the adjacent page). -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
