    > Texinfo supports images, but does the Info format?

    No, it doesn't.

How can the Info format support images?
If you make an ASCII drawing picture.txt, the @image command will read it.

    There are no directives to describe a sequence of menu selections,

Why not just use arrows?
start -> next -> next -> command

    no way to typeset dialog boxes and other simple widgets,

How can such things be represented in text-based Info?
They're usually screen shots in other formats, which is probably what's
most useful to users.  I'm not sure there's much point in
transliterating fancy gui stuff into text?
Can ghostscript create ascii from .eps?
