Missing 'info' content

[Robert L Cochran]

In my case I tried:

info bash
info avrdude

in both cases, pressing the space bar of my keyboard (a 101 key Logitech 
brand keyboard sold in the USA) results in another screen-sized "page" 
of content about either bash or avrdude to display. Pressing the "Page 
Up" and "Page Down" keys seems to navigate me backwards and forwards in 
the respective content.

I'm not sure how info is supposed to present content. I'm not real 
expert with using it.

info-4.13a-2.fc11.x86_64
