My Harmony 600 has both Info and Menu buttons. I have never been able to find a 
suitable mapping on the Logitech website that allows me to use both! So I have 
exactly the opposite problem to you.

There is a distinct philosophical difference between the two buttons: Info 
brings up details about the current item - either what you are watching or 
whatever is currently selected in the menu tree. Info usually is just a display 
mechanism. Menu obviously brings up the menu tree - either at the top or 
something relevant to wherever you are. These two buttons are used by myth 
exactly the way that my TV and my cable box use them.
