Hi Folks,
Does anyone know how to set up multiple Info directory locations? I want
to keep all the system info files, but also include my own for other
packages I add in my home directory.
I've tried:
(require 'info)
(setq Info-directory-list (append '("~/src/gnus/texi") Info-directory-list))
but then it just "loses" the system location.
Any ideas would be very welcome.
-Phil

How about
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "~/src/gnus/texi")
or
(setq Info-default-directory-list
(cons "~/src/gnus/texi" Info-default-directory-list))

The canonical way to do that is to set the environment variable
INFOPATH outside of Emacs, in the same shell from which you invoke
Emacs. INFOPATH's value should be a list of Info directories in the
same format as the PATH variable on your system.

Don't play with Info-directory-list, it's not intended to be settable
by the user.
