Yes, great! It looks much better than the standard mode. Can you color
the headline "File: ... Node: ..." too?

I have a keyword like \] and I know, it must be named in (latex)"Command
Index". How can I get it? I found

#v+
info_find_node("(latex)Command Index");
buffer_keystring("\\]\r");
info_menu(); 
#v-

but it doesn't look very nice.

BTW: Something went wrong there. If I'm at a node and hit 'm', I get a
  question with the default answer "...:" (with the ':'). If I hit enter,
  it isn't found.

I'm wrong. This couldn't work.

And some principle question:
* Why do you use skip_chars("...") and not
  skip_chars("^complement of...")? Is this faster?
* Why do you have your own compression handling? Is compression.sl not
  usable?

And DEL doesn't work at me. Backspace scrolls backward.

Joerg.
