how to open an uninstalled info file from within emacs |

in my quest to now learn elisp, i wanted to read "programming in
emacs lisp (2nd ed.)", using the info form of that doc. i've already
figured out that, when i'm in regular emacs, i can open up an info
document with "C-h i" and, conveniently, if there are elisp expressions,
i can execute them with "C-x C-e".
however, the info form of the document i want to read, while it is
downloadable from www.fsf.org, is not part of the installed info
library on my latest version of red hat.
so, from within emacs, how can i open in info mode a specific
info file that i've downloaded from the net? (short of installing
it, that is; i want to be able to do this to arbitrary info files
that i might download from arbitrary locations.)
am i making any sense here?
