> If I understand you correctly, you are referring me to the emacs manual. But that is exactly my problem. Nothing in the manual seems to work. For example, the manual says that the main info directory may be supplied with the environment variable INFOPATH. Doesn't work.
Setting INFOPATH in the environment does work for me. Please describe
how you set that variable, and how you invoke Emacs. E.g., if you
invoke Emacs from the desktop shortcut, you need to set INFOPATH via
right-clicking on "Computer", selecting "Advanced", and editing the
Environment Variables list there.
> Then there is the customizable variable Info-default-directory-list, which also does not seem to work.
Likewise, please describe how you tried to customize that variable.
Also, does the value of Info-directory-list in the running Emacs
reflect your customizations?
