Not to mention it would break expected behaviour. I don't know about other
people, but i certianly use 'help' quite frequently. It beats trawling
through the vast bash man page looking for the info i need.

alias help=info would be better, but might get the newbie lost.

Well, if you really want to help the newbie, maybe 'pinfo' instead of 'info'
-) But still, that breaks expected behaviour regardless.
