The `doc' field could simply be changed to be of type Lisp_Object and then follow the usual representation used for lambda expressions and variables where it can be: - a single integer: an offset into the one true DOC file. - a cons (FILE . OFFSET): says that the doc can be found in FILE starting at OFFSET. - a string. Stefan
