What I believe you get is a "info.exe: dir: file not found" which means
info can't find the root document, "dir". What you must do is add
"\djgpp\docs\texinfo" to your current INFOPATH. Here is mine:
INFOPATH=p:\docs;p:\docs\djgpp;p:\docs\texinfo
INFOPATH determines where info searches for the documents whereas PATH
determins where command.com searches for the executables. Both can
contain multiple directories separated by a semicolon.
I hope I got this right.
