how to open *.info file in emacs in info mode?

Question

C-x C-f blah.info opens the file in fundametal mode. I used apropos and found Info-mode which I thought might change from fundamental mode

Answer 1

You can use org mode. Type the following in a buffer already set using M-x org-mode:

info:path/to/blah

Then invoke info by placing the cursor over this and hitting C-c C-o. Alternatively, click on it with your mouse. You can also set the whole thing in double square brackets, if you path contains whitespace.
