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.
