What commands do you type, and over what text do you put the mouse? I wrote the foo.texi file, which follows after my signature. Then I made an Info file from that Texinfo file by evaluating the following in a shell: makeinfo --force --fill-column=70 --no-split --paragraph-indent=0 \ --verbose foo.texi In the foo.texi file, I included a URL reference to a known Web page: See @url{http://www.rattlesnake.com/notions/Choice-and-Constraint.html}, which is intended as a description of `what is' @dots{} In the default GNU Emacs, started with `emacs -Q -D', that sentence appears as: See `http://www.rattlesnake.com/notions/Choice-and-Constraint.html', which is intended as a description of `what is' ... (with the URL in blue and underlined). In the default GNU Emacs, when I move the mouse over the URL, the background changes to a light blue green that is called `darkseagreen2'. When I click a mouse cursor on the URL, the message area says both: mouse-1: go to this URL Loading thingatpt...done (which I quoted out of the *Messages* buffer) but nothing happens. Hmmm ... `M-x w3' does nothing and I just looked for `w3' in the Emacs CVS sources and could not find them. I thought W3 mode was included in the default CVS sources, but evidently it is not. W3M mode, which is much faster than W3 mode, is not included either. That would explain why clicking the mouse cursor over the URL fails. As is, in the default GNU Emacs, the message is wrong; it should not say: mouse-1: go to this URL Either W3 mode or preferably W3M mode should be made a part of the standard Emacs or the message in the default should be changed. (In my usual Emacs, in which W3M mode is loaded by my .emacs file, the proper URL comes up when I click on it. I just checked. In this case, the message is correct.) -- Robert J.
