Hi, Occasionally I need to copy&paste the rendered output of a GNU manual into a text file or mail. The easiest way to do this is to use the 'info' reader with TERM=vt100 or TERM=vt220. With the usual TERM=xterm setting it does *not* work because info then intercepts the mouse events. Could this trick please be documented in the info manual? Or maybe even add an option --no-mouse (like w3m has an option '-no-mouse'); then a user would see this possibility simply from 'info --help'. Bruno
