It's working here but I use a developer version of emacs. Is C-h S working? To the emacs-devels: Is there any need for `ocatave-help' if `info-lookup-symbol' is doing the same (as far as I can see)? > At another system running Debian (Sarge) I get the error message > "Info-find-node: Info file octave does not exist", but on the bash > "info octave" shows the info file. However, it is not shown in M-x > info (info-mode) inside emacs? Maybe adjust INFO_PATH but that sounds like a Debilian bug. David
