This is not possible with the `Info-history' variable since it actually is a stack, not a list of all visited nodes. However, in CVS there is a new internal variable `Info-history-list' which holds a list of all visited nodes and which is used by the `Info-history' command (bound to `L'). You could try it and see if you still think `Info-forward' is needed. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
