The GNU documentation format. when I press RET (Info-follow-nearest-node), I receive the error message: Info-next-preorder: No more nodes I believe this must be a problem with your Dir file. I witnessed the behavior I described with exactly the same command line arguments you gave with CVS bootstrapped at pretty much the same time you did. From discussions with Kai and Richard, I get the impression that the behavior I described is also the behavior they are witnessing. In the situation you describe, RETURN carries me to texinfo, as expected. Just in case: [bash2.05b.0 ~ 3 3] makeinfo --version makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.2 In an unrelated matter: /usr/local/bin/emacs -q --no-site-file --eval '(blink-cursor-mode 0)' I guess you must be susceptible to the "blinking cursor phenomenon" too. It is strange how such a tiny blinking black box can have this dramatic effect on the nervous system of a small minority of people (it is torture), whereas it apparently leaves the vast majority of people completely unaffected.
