    * Bind PageUp and PageDown by default to scroll-backward and 
    scroll-forward, instead of to scroll-backward-page-only and 
    scroll-forward-page-only.
Agreed, done.

    * Set scroll-step=1 and cursor-movement-scrolls=On by default.
Agreed, done.

    * Use ? to search backward.
In vi mode, was already done.  In Emacs mode, sorry, I don't agree.

    * Use h to show the help window (and H for the tutorial).
Agreed, done.

    * A second h should close the help window again.
Agreed, but will have to leave it for another time.

    * The help text should show q as the key for quitting 'info', 
    instead of the bewildering C-x C-c.
Agreed, done.

    * The first keys to be shown under "Selecting other nodes" should 
    be ] and [, not n and p.
Agreed, done.

    * And after those two it should mention Tab and Enter -- 
Agreed, done.

    and it should use those names, instead of TAB and RET.
I see the point, but sorry, I'm not ready to break with Emacs and make
such a global change just now.

Thank you very much for all those suggestions.

P.S. As always, I would be very grateful for a volunteer with time and
inclination to come forward to maintain standalone Info on an ongoing basis.
