Set the variable visible-bell to ON.

The cursor stays on a line until it scrolls off the screen, then it
stays on line 1.  Is that a problem?

You are looking at the wrong manual: info.info is about the Info mode
and the Info system in general; the stand-alone Info reader is
documented in info-stnd.info.  So saying something like

           info --usage info-standalone

will do what you want.
