Hello!
I want to make a suggestion for improving info (I'm using info3.12f).
info has an option for writing the output to a file (--output=FILE)
but I think it should have an option (say --stdout) for sending the
output to the standard output in a non-interactive way. For example this
would allow to do something like that
info --stdout ls | more
in a dumb terminal (for example in the shell window of Joe editor).
Then info would behave in a more Unix-like way.
Also I suggest that info should behave in this way when the terminal is
not powerful enough for runing in an interactive way (for example if the
terminal doesn't support absolute positions)
Thank you
