Subject: Visit random info files?
Date: Wed, 11 May 2005 14:30:38 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050511213038.55882.qmail@web51905.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Prefacing my question, I know nothing of info files,
is it possible to write a function that visits a
randomly chosen page from all available info files?
If so, Would someone be willing to instruct me on how
such a function could be composed (or is there one
already)?

When there's not a specific subject I'm seeking to
learn I'd like to be able to jump around randomly to
find new things to learn.  It's great fun on the wiki,
just make a bookmark to
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?action=random .

Thanks.
