Perhaps you have not set the TERM variable *and* exported it for info to
read. To use info, I do the following:
- log into the RISC/6000
- set my TERM variable and export it with:
TERM=vt100;export TERM
- use info
I have had no trouble using VT-100 terminals and VT-100 terminal
emulators with info.
