Thanks, it did fix the missing ARG problem.  I wonder why Eli didn't
see the same one.  Is menu-bar.el specific to windoze?  BTW, 21.2.50
is still suffering from the missing doc problem.  Now the C-h f
line-number-mode looks like this.

  line-number-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
  (line-number-mode ARG)

Recently, to be conservative I've been building the new CVS source
from the scratch with "nmake bootstrap" every time.  The latest build
looked like it did its job for building the DOC file.  However, I
find no entry for line-number-mode in the actually created DOC file.
Does anyone have an idea?
