Prefacing my question, I know nothing of info files,
is it possible to write a function that visits a
randomly chosen page from all available info files?
Yes, in Emacs anything is possible.
If so, Would someone be willing to instruct me on how
such a function could be composed (or is there one
already)?
Can you index the collection of all info pages? If so, then it is
trivial to make a random selection from this index.
