I would advise you to use the GUI version of emacs:
http://www.emacsformacosx.com
this is a very good distribution of GNU emacs for MacOSX. (Currently,
version 24.4.1)
Otherwise, in the Terminal.app, I don't observe any difficulty in
navigating in the info; type in Terminal.app:
emacs RET
C-h i
m emacs RET
SPC SPC SPC
When called from the terminal, you will get the emacs provided by apple,
in /usr/bin/emacs, which is version 22.1.1, a tad old.
What terminal are you using?
Does it have correct and complete termcap (or terminfo) entries?
Did you configure the TERM variable correctly?
Did you install your own emacs? What version? Are you sure this is the
emacs you installed you are invoking?
