After starting to make use of the Emacs Info capabilities, I have discovered that I do not always want to install data in the /info directory and the dir file. These are mainly items that I have either not completely tested for public usage or ones no one else cares about. I there some way to run Info on them without actually go through the installation. I read about the g(file)node command, but it will not accept full pathnames and a relative path would be horrible to think about. Any help would be greatly appreicated.
