And if you type this command: M-x find-file-literally RET /path/to/elisp.info RET then go to this line: -- Function: nth n list and type "C-x =", what does Emacs show in the echo area? If your elisp.info file is gzip-compressed, then do this instead: C-x C-f /path/to/elisp.info.gz RET C-x Function: nth RET M-: (position-bytes (point)) RET and tell what that yields, and how does that compare with the number at the end of the "Ref:" line shown above. Thanks.
