I see. Then maybe it is a Windows problem somehow. Perhaps Eli can help. He can hopefully confirm that C-h v shows no doc. > > Or maybe, as you suggest, it is a MS Windows problem. >=20 > It's pretty odd.

We'll get there eventually. When this is all said and done, what about adding a comment in select.el next to the setq that initializes the variable, saying that the doc string is defined in select.c? And maybe saying _why_ it is done there and not in Lisp? I would think that such a dependence would be pointed out somewhere. A comment there seems appropriate.
