This means I cannot copy a file name for Info. The name has been shifted from easily sharable to hard-to-share. if we want to optimize for ease of sharing (not a bad goal, IMHO), my guess is the easiest way to share a mode-line-as-"link" would be a series of keystrokes that can be used to find that node. this: (fset 'help-me! [?\C-h ?i ?m ?e ?m ?a ?c ?s ?\C-m]) is more useful than File: emacs, Node: Top, Next: Distrib, Prev: (dir), Up: (dir) you can tell someone to put this in *scratch* and type `C-j M-x help-me!'. there are current-state issues to resolve of course; this is just a sketch. the display of deep-structure info in the buffer is not necessary for this. thi
