Thanks Peter!
INFOPATH doesn't seem to be defined on my system though. And I don't
understand why Debian would install the info file for, for example,
sbcl, in both /usr/local/info/dir and /usr/share/info/dir. I can fix
that myself, of course, but is there something I can do so that I
won't have to manually tweak the dir files everytime I install
documentation from the repositories?
Cheers,
Tyler
