Emacs manual node Hiding Subdirectories should mention unhiding (toggle)

Emacs manual node Hiding Subdirectories should mention unhiding (toggle)

[Drew Adams]

The node should mention that $ is a toggle. I found nothing in the
doc to indicate how to show hidden subdirs. I see no index entry for
showing hidden subdirs, for instance.
 
In GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2007-06-02 on RELEASE
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --cflags -Ic:/gnuwin32/include'
