You look something up with info and use it. 2. You look something else up and use that. 3, or I mean 1b - because the first thing didn't quite work! Now, with info, you have to navigate back to that node to see what it really said. And maybe between steps 1 and 2, you looked up something else still, which you didn't use, which might even belong to some different program, etc. etc.! With a text file, you bring that file up - which is always the same for a given piece of software - and make a search up or down in the document. this is faster and easier, again using only the everyday commands and finger-habits which has nothing to do with info or any other major or minor mode. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
