 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.
