I tried to use bookmark to jump around different info roots (/usr/ share/info, emacs, and my own tips). It works in other boxes but just not this one. With the info I got here, I finally decided to add my local info file to "Info-directory-list". This gives me a very big list whic hcontains everything (which I was trying to avoid by using bookmarks). But it works now. I still don't know why this emacs (built from source) didn't automatically recognize /usr/share/info/dir though. Eric.
