Please check (info "(elisp) Multi-file Packages"). Yet this isn't working! By looking at other packages It seems that there must be a file `PACKAGE-NAME-readme.txt' BELOW the content directory to get a long description in the package help. Is this a bug in package.el or is it an oversight in the Elisp manual? Thanks Dieter -- Best wishes H. Dieter Wilhelm Zwingenberg, Germany
