Do you mean that as written, ie, functions somehow get a 'info-manual-name property (seems unlikely but possible), or do you mean (as implied by your reference to INFOPATH) that Emacs looks in the index of every manual on INFOPATH etc? That would be ridiculously slow on Debian systems where it is _policy_ to gzip the info manuals. (In fact, this is the source of regular complaints about XEmacs: info mode is very slow to start up because XEmacs searches all the manuals to generate the (dir) node.) Eli> Unless "C-h C-f" works differently in XEmacs, that is. I'll have to look, seems likely given the difference in performance (as C-h i d m gnus RET does work as expected, except on Debian where they reference the GNU Emacs versions of all the manuals in the (dir) node, and bury manuals from XEmacs under xemacs21::). -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
