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.
