No, when I enter standalone info and press down-arrow, the cursor moves.

When I run info --vi-keys and press down-arrow or "j" (which should be
the same), the text scrolls, and the cursor stays on place.
The same with up-arrow and "k".

Thanks for explanation.  Actually, it's info --usage info-stnd.

Though I have compiled info-stnd plenty of times to test my texinfo.tex
patches, I always thought that it is about an ``info standard''.
It's hard to erase this in my mind.

Thank you,
