To look up the coreutils introduction I can do:

$ info coreutils intro
⋮
-----Info: (coreutils)Introduction, 40 lines --All----------------------

There's apparently no easy way to do the same thing in pinfo:

$ pinfo coreutils intro
File: coreutils.info,  Node: Top,  Next: Introduction,  Up: (dir)
⋮
    
$ pinfo coreutils -n intro
Przemek's Info Viewer v0.6.13
Searching for tag table done
Specified node does not exist...

-n could work, but only if you spell the whole node name, which is inconvenient:

$ pinfo coreutils -n Introducution
File: coreutils.info,  Node: Introduction,  Next: Common options,  Prev: Top,  Up: Top
⋮
