If I want to find something out about VC, I don't want to have to search through *two* manuals to find it because I can't guess where the arbitrary split has been made. I think the all the documentation for VC should be in one manual. I have two suggestions: 1) VC has its own manual like PCL-CVS does. 2) All the programming/development topics are moved to a separate manual (Emacs IDE?) and only the obscure stuff is left in emacs-Xtra. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
