The info section Recursive Pattern: _accumulate_ states:
'This is very like the ‘every’ pattern using ‘cons’, except that
‘cons’ is not used, but some other combiner.'
The example link 'Making a List of Files' uses cons to accumulate a list
of files.
I realize this is a low priority minor detail but it could cause
confusion for a novice. It certainly confused me. I have looked for
whether there is somewhere else to report problems with info, also whether to delete the preamble of this email - didn't
find anything - so I've left it as it is.

The recursive function call (which is what the section "Recursive
Patterns" is about) in files-in-below-directory uses "append", not cons.
cons happens to be used elsewhere in the function. It says right before
the files-in-below-directory definition that it uses "append".
So personally speaking I don't find it confusing.

Hi Glenn
thanks for your quick reply. I see what you mean, the append is further
down and I was looking at the code following this comment where it says
'append' (line 3 below) and then uses cons (line 6). On the other hand
being a new user, I NEED to read the manual whereas I'm guessing you
don't. :)
cheers
Gary
(cond
;; check to see whether filename ends in `.el'
;; and if so, append its name to a list.
((equal ".el" (substring (car (car current-directory-list))
-3))
(setq el-files-list
(cons (car (car current-directory-list))
el-files-list)))
;; check whether filename is that of a directory
((eq t (car (cdr (car current-directory-list))))
;; decide whether to skip or recurse

So it seems like the problem is just that the comment is wrong?
(clearly that not code is not appending, the new item is being added
at the front)
