But how do you invoke info from within emacs. Actually I can kind of
do it - but am not getting the one thing for which I use info rather
than man. If I do 'M-x info', I don't see date as one of the things I
can read about. But 'info date' from an xterm, gives me all the info
pages describing the wierd and wonderful world of the 'date' command. 

I suspect I need to set some whacky emacs variable to know where the
info pages for date live (if I can find them myself).
