>=3B That was my impression as well. So why is the suggested com= mand using
>=3B the weird `for' loop

The for is there mainly t= o extract the directory path=2C so that if you launch the guessed command o= n some foo.info file=2C foo.info is installed in the dir file that is in th= e same directory where foo.info is.

The for will also make it work i= n case of marking several files=2C but in my opinion this is not useful. Th= e point is that in MSDOS I don't think that it is possible to get the direc= tory name otherwise than with a for.

This `for' would be useless if = there was some other mean to get the directory name (like Emacs setting som= e environment variable with the directory name before launching the command= ...)

>=3B (which will make it apply to all kinds of other
>= =3B unrelated files).

Well the user is supposed to mark o= nly the info files to be installed. But as I wrote=2C the intention of for = was not iterating=2C and probably I should not have proposed a for in the b= ash case.
