I would have to say you are stupid, --- just kidding. :)

The strength of DJGPP is in the code it generates.  While the info system
cannot compete with the Windows Help system in dummy-proof features, it is
extremely easy to use and powerful if you have read the manual.  For
example, typing "M Tab" anywhere inside info will produce a list of all the
topics that you can choose from.  And Ctrl-S allows you to do an
incremental search on the entire content of the current info file.
