It is the DIR file for the manuals that come with Emacs. Info uses it to generate the "DIR" node, which is a concatenation of all the DIR files it finds along the Info search path. > Back in September, I noticed that SES was not listed im my (dir)Top > under Emacs. I tried adding SES to emacs/info/dir. It had no effect > whatsoever. What effect you were looking for? The effect should be visible if you type `d' inside the *info* buffer. With the stand-alone Info reader, typing "info SES" should succeed if SES is in info/dir and would probably fail if it isn't (although latest versions of the stand-alone reader might find the SES manual even if it isn't in info/dir). > I noticed that other recent additions were not listed in > emacs/info/dir. I then checked how they got added to (dir)Top. It > was through Makefile.in. Makefile.in takes care of adding the entries to the system-wide DIR file when you say "make install". But until you do say "make install", the Emacs binary invoked from its source tree uses the DIR file supplied with the distribution.
