Oops, so we do...

We might want to install an R.info.gz as a link (if possible) to one
of the others to avoid the effect described. [Why does it find Regex
rather than (say) Readline, I wonder?]

BTW, at least on my installation, "info R-intro" works without the -f
stated on the man page. -f suggests that you need to know the
whereabouts of the info file, so is somewhat misleading.
