   Is there lisp code available that will put the help screen
   on a new window?  it would make sense to do that in a multi-
   window environment instead of splitting the current window
   in 2.

How 'bout this?

(defun make-info-window ()
  (interactive)
  (setq tmp-screen (current-screen))
  (select-screen
   (create-screen
    "*scratch*"
    (list (cons 'title "Info Info Info")
          (cons 'geometry "80x60"))))
  (info)
  (sit-for 0)
  (select-screen tmp-screen))
