Thanks.  <Up> and <PageUp> don't work exactly the same, though.  
When the preceding node is longer than a screenful, <Up> shows a 
full page (with the cursor at the bottom), whereas <PageUp> shows 
half a page (with the cursor at the start of the centre line).

Compare: info info, N, 5, Up, Down, Pageup, Down, Up, Down, Pageup, 
Down, ...  It's not important, but it's somewhat strange.

When doing <PageUp> at the top node of a document, the cursor now 
gets placed at the bottom.  This is quite confusing when the first 
node of a document is longer than the screen.  For example with 
gawk: info gawk, PageUp, PageUp, ...  And also in the help text:
info info, h, PageUp, PageUp, ...

The cursor beviour of <PageUp> is a little strange.  After doing 
info info, N, 6, End, then a series of PageUp puts the cursor at 
the following places: top, bottom, top, bottomish, top, middlish
(on a 33-line 80-column Konsole).

Something else: the "el" command in the help window acts as if the 
help window had held the same text as the other window, the window 
in which <h> was typed.  For example: after info info, h, L, the 
two windows both show the first node of the Info document, which 
isn't right.  Only when <h> reuses an existing window, should it 
retain the history.  When <h> opens a new window, it should clear 
the history for that window, so that <L> says "Cannot kill the last 
node" and the help text stays put.
