Re: The defaults for Info

    I notice that the second line usually doesn't reach the start of the
    "Next:" text on the first line, so if the "File:" and "Node:" parts
    are hidden, it will usually fit on one line.

I find the File: and Node: parts of the hdr line the most useful.
At least Node:, for sure, much more than the pointers.  Go figure ...

However, I guess it could all be abbreviated for display, like
  foo.info:curnode, n:nextnode, p:prevnode, u:upnode
where the "[npu]:" are literal.  Not sure if that's a good idea,
just a stray thought.

It does seem like the boring "File: " and "Node: " prefixes could be
eliminated, since the filename is self-identifying.

Another weird idea that comes to mind is to truncate the pointer node
names so that the total length of the line stays under the terminal
width ... k
