Transcript of an ielm run: *** Welcome to IELM *** Type (describe-mode) for help. ELISP> (getenv "INFOPATH") nil ELISP> Info-directory-list ("/usr/local/info/" "/usr/local/share/info/" "/usr/info/" "/usr/share/info/" "/usr/local/info/") As you can see from this ielm run, my INFOPATH is nil. The fist two identical sections occur in /usr/local/info/dir and /usr/info/dir. usr/local/info/ occurs twice in Info-directory-list, but that does not seem to produce a third identical copy. The third, slightly different, version occurs in /usr/share/info/dir, which is a symbolic link to etc/info-dir. /usr/local/share/info is just an empty directory. All of this seems to explain my C-h i output. I still do not understand whether this is just a local problem with my own setup or a problem with the Emacs CVS. Sincerely, Luc.
