It's yet another caveat about being changing behavior that folks have become accustomed to for over a decade. I've been using emacs for 24 years and re-reading manuals with every release is something I will most certainly never do. So, I'd have suggested ``Esc-2 Ctl-h i'' triggering a prompt: OBSOLETE METHOD (use Ctl-u Ctl-h i) -- Info file name: then I'd have been ready when emacs 23 came out. Anyway, too late now. Thank you all for your efforts! Regards, Bruce
