It doesn't create new buffers, only finds existing ones. (Did the doc
string suggest otherwise?)
IOW, do it like this:
M-x info-display-manual RET gnus RET
M-x rename-buffer *info*<1> RET
M-x info-display-manual RET emacs RET
M-x rename-buffer *info*<2> RET
(The second rename is not necessary, but it clears the way for yet
another info-display-manual.)
Now you can use info-display-manual, and it will switch to the right
buffer automatically.
I wrote that command because I always have several dozens of Info
manuals open in my Emacs session, and I want to be able to switch
between them without any hassle.
