Thanx.
I am trying to find out which files to get for a PC version of Tex and LaTex.

Help-Small-Screen is indeed in info.inf. However, when I rename info.inf to
info, I still get the same error. But, being persistent, I then tried invoking
INFO while I was in the djgpp\docs\texinfo directory. Then "h" worked, so
it's a path problem of some type. Am I missing any environment variables? I
thought that I had all that README.DOC asked for. I have

: DJ, I would suggest to change this in some future maintenance release.

Some problems seem to never go away.
