The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual. Yes. Normally you have to unpack the manual with:- tar -xvzf elisp-info.tar.gz Then you will have the info file. After that you can do what skull says above. Regarding the last step of editing the dir file, there is another way of doing it is: * Copy info file to the right place as described above * Open a shell in that directory * type "install-info elisp.info" And install-info will modify the dir file itself. (When the next version of Emacs is released it will come with the Elisp manual I think.)
