But, I do see duplicate menu entries on "C-h i" in emacs. I could fix this by renaming the folder in which I had build emacs. This makes me believe that emacs has taken the build directory as the part of the info path list (though this is not shown in the The list var "Info-default-directory-list" has the following value (with no customization i.e., "emacs -q") ("c:/emacs/info/" "/usr/local/share/info/" "/usr/local/info/" "/usr/local/gnu/info/" "/usr/local/gnu/lib/info/" "/usr/local/gnu/lib/emacs/info/" "/usr/local/emacs/info/" "/usr/local/lib/info/" "/usr/local/lib/emacs/info/" "/gnu/info/" "e:/GNU/emacs/info/") The last entry is the location I have installed emacs (e:/gnu/emacs). IMHO, the other directories are redundant. Based on the OS, could we have a smaller set or could this be decided based on the existence of the folder? -dky -- Dhruva Krishnamurthy Contents reflect my personal views only!
