Re: info equivalent of "man -wa"?

    i'll note that man(1) does support -a in its normal "view the manpage" 

Yep, I use it all the time :).

    i don't know how hard that would be to emulate in info(1), 

It makes no sense to do so.  man is fundamentally a non-interactive
program that outputs to stdout.  As I said before, info is an
interactive program that brings up one info page at a time, it doesn't
pipe through $PAGER.

It only makes sense to implement -a for non-interactive usage.

Anyway, clearly Sergey is busy with other things.  I'll try to take a
look or at least put it on the list for the future.

Best,
Karl
