I got a number of replies, and thank everyone who took the trouble.
Unfortunately I was rather too terse in this message.  What I wanted
was a program that would do what the emacs Info package does, namely
browse texinfo files online, on a dumb terminal.  I know about printing
documents off with TeX and I have the source for xinfo, but is there a
reader for dumb terminals?  If not, would there be interest if I were
to try to hack xinfo into one?
