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).

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. > So it seems that if there is any INFOPATH setting in the [info] section > of djgpp.env, info hangs if the subject on the command line is unknown. 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.
