I was being overly cautious. Here's a patch that puts it right in the opening screenfull, where it certainly won't be missed. Ok. Certainly. By "the other manuals" I assume you mean those listed on: http://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.html -- No. Sorry for not specifying. I just mean the manuals in the Emacs distribution, namely those here: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/doc/?root=emacs (There are many individual manuals in the misc/ subdir.) Dealing with manuals in other distributions has to be done separately, through their respective maintainers/bug lists. If you want to take that on, that would be great. BTW, (I know this should likely be mentioned elsewhere, but...) GNUMP3d should probably be noted as being "mothballed" per it's developer's comment here: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnump3d/index.html Hmm, thanks for mentioning it. I guess I'll be writing to its maintainer.
