It looks like it improves the behavior from before, even if it's not perfect. I will look at incorporating it. > It might be prudent to change that if Emacs is built non > self-contained. Does the new method cause a failure to find the right info directory in this case? If so, is it any worse than the case before? > If you decide against changing the behavior, I would find it helpful > if you included a hint in the documentation. Do I take it the macos.texi portion of your patch should ONLY be applied if the other parts are NOT applied, or is that describing a shortcoming that will still exist with your new code? thanks, Adrian
