Hi!
About info 3.1-6:
1-
Arrow keys don't work.
2-
The directory /usr/local/info is not in the default (hard-wired)
INFOPATH. I had to set it to /usr/info:/usr/local/info in the
shell initialization script.
Good luck.

Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.
This is an automatically generated reply, to let you know your message has
been received. It is being forwarded to the developers' mailing list for
their attention; they will reply in due course.
If you wish to submit further information on your problem, please send
it to debian-bugs@pixar.com, but please ensure that the Subject
line of your message starts with "Bug#889" or "Re: Bug#889" so that
we can identify it as relating to the same problem.
Please do not reply to the address at the top of this message,
unless you wish to report a problem with the bug-tracking system.
Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the
pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a
psuedo-header at all.
This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your
problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and
version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the
problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.

The standalone info browser in texinfo 3.1 contains code (in
terminal.c) to try to find out what the termcap database claims that
arrow keys generate.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to use anywhere the variables where it
stores the answers !
Observed symptoms are that the arrow keys beep and generally do odd
things, rather than working as expected. (I'm using an xterm.)
This bug was originally reported as Debian GNU/Linux bug#889; when you
reply, please keep the start of the subject line intact and send a
copy both to Emilio Lopes and to debian-bugs. Thank you.

In May I reported the bug below. This is still not fixed in Texinfo
3.6, and I've just had another user report this as a bug in the Debian
package. Is there likely to be any progress soon ?
When you reply, please preserve the Subject line and send copies to
debian-bugs, Emilio Lopes and Michael Deisher, as I have done.
Thanks.
