Or? AFAIK, there are not usually links in the *Help* buffer for a function = or variable to the relevant portions of the manual. Instead, the links = there take you to the source-code definitions. There is, however, `C-h F', at least; it takes you to the manual section = for an Emacs command (but not for a non-interactive function). I also proposed that the link on a function etc. name in an *Apropos* = buffer take you to the relevant manual page - the link on its `Function' = etc. field would still take you to the doc string (*Help*). This was = accepted, though that doesn't necessarily mean it will be implemented.=20
