"Me too!".  I'd like to see some substantive description of the benefits of
using pinfo, to find out if they outweigh the horrible illegibility of
pinfo's display.  Probably all I'll get is more of "Pinfo's display is
perfectly legible.  What's wrong with you?"

The essential info commands are pressing spacebar or page down to go down,
pressing page up to go up, pressing return when the insertion point is in a
link to go elsewhere, pressing l (ell) to go back, and pressing q to quit.
