I was talking about how much info is shown. You're talking about where the info is displayed. The `apropos' approach is good because it lets users define a personal preference that might be for seeing more info (=t), yet it also lets users change the behavior on the fly using a prefix arg. > do as we do with `what-cursor-position' (`C-x =') that > prints info in the echo area, but with prefix argument shows > full details in *Help* buffer. I don't see the output of even the full info as being something voluminous, necessitating *Help*. But perhaps you had something more in mind. The info we've discussed so far should be OK for the minibuffer.
