In the original text versions of Zork you didn't use arrows. You had to 
type U, D, a compass direction, followed by enter when attempting to change 
to another location.

I know how you feel about 'info'. My first encounter with it did have some 
of the feel of an adventure game. Trying to learn what keys to use to 
navigate around the pages to find the information and usually not getting 
anywhere seemed to be a way to waste time. To this day, I rarely use info. 
I still find man or web pages are a quicker and eaiser way to get the info 
I need. More recently I have noticed that it seems to have gotten eaiser to 
navigate around in info or I'm finally getting the hang of it.
