I am using Emacs and Ilisp. I find it very convenient to be able to
look up relevant parts of the Hyperspec from Emacs. However, I would
ideally like to be able to browse it from Emacs instead of using an
external browser (like Mozilla). I tried using lynx within Emacs, but
I didn't like it. It steals some keybindings, and also pages one page
at a time, which I find inconvenient. It struck me that the best thing
would be to get the Hyperspec right into a read-only Emacs buffer. I
am curious wether something like that exists, or if anyone has had
success getting something similar to work?

Have you tried w3m? (Note: This is not the same as w3.)
<http://w3m.sourceforge.net/>

There's also an Emacs mode for integrating w3m in a buffer, at
http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org/

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. w3m with emacs-w3m
works very well. The only minor inconvenience so far is that it
insists on invoking w3m in the same window when doing C-z H for
hyperspec lookup. It would be better to get it in another frame or
window, so that both the code and the hyperspec entry are visible
simultaneously (this is probably fixable, I just don't know how).

You can create your own `browse-url-browser-function':
(defun my-browse-url (url &rest args)
"Calls `w3m-browse-url' with new-window argument set to t."
(w3m-browse-url url t))
(setq browse-url-browser-function 'my-browse-url)

a TexInfo version comes with GCL (most probably it's available without GCL,
too...) I like it *very* much!

You can try installing either emacs w3 or w3m with the emacs interface
for w3m. I have used both. Emacs w3 can be a bit slow and it has a few
problems as a genral purpose browser, but it works fine for things
like basic text web pages. I've found w3m really good - its fast and
does a pretty good rendering and the interface from emacs works well.
