What do you mean by "numbers"? I don't think the stand-alone Info
reader was ever numbering menu items, if that's what you mean.
Yes, it has numbers. Like I said it was in Hamm for sure (1998) probably until Woody (2002). And then something has happened and numbers became useless asterisks. You can note that 0-9 keys still work (but probably wrong). In case you didn't notice each page has unique address, like "9.2 Specifying a Location", so you could quickly get into it by typing 92. Now it is buggy (for GDB manual) as 9 gets you to page 8. I always used 353 to quickly get into "3.5.3 Shell Parameter Expansion" for Bash. Now I can't do it because I don't remember this combination.
As for losing the underlining, I think this will do it:
M-x set-variable RET link-style nounderline RET
You can make this the default by editing your .infokey file, as
described in the "Custom Key Bindings" node of the manual.
