FWIW, I always have a separate frame that I use for the Info manuals. As for *Help*, *Apropos*, and other similar buffers, I quite like that they pop up in the same frame, since my screen is usually too crowded, and popping another frame would annoy me. > There is no C-x 5 h... command either. Why? I don't know; feel free to suggest such a feature on emacs-devel.
