Maxima's describe command is pretty tightly coupled to info since it
has a builtin info file parser/reader. I use this feature a lot since
I can never remember all of the commands, options, and syntax.
Could probably replace this with something like spawning off a process
to bring up a Web browser to the appropriate place. This is rather
nice if the hyperlinks are set up. Maybe be able to steal what Clisp(?)
has done with in this area.
