I don't see anything special in such scrolling (do you really mean to
tell us that this is the reason why you stick with your editor??)
Emacs has a command to scroll the display without moving the cursor. I
have it permanently bound to Ctrl-z and Alt-z (scroll up and down).
But this is quickly becoming another editor war, so let's drop it,
okay?

Are you sure you waited long enough? Please don't get impatient, let
Info work for a while. I think it doesn't hang, it just tries to make a
lot of guesswork to find your `dir' file.

No, I think your DJGPP environment variable is set incorrectly. Please
post how it is defined, and please revert to the original DJGPP.ENV from
djdev201.zip, i.e., do NOT edit it.
