This way, contents of INFOPATH and > Info-default-directory-list are merged when invoking info. I'm less familiar with this area than you, but it seems strange that emacs expects a user env setting for INFOPATH to have a path-separator already appended to it. Shouldn't the code that as you say merges INFOPATH and Info-default-directory-list take care of this? > I would typically not expect most of the programs I use to set an > environment variable by themselves, and I spent a couple of minutes > figuring out what was happening and checking for other places that > might be responsible for the INFOPATH environment variable. That's why > I wrote the email So it seems the problem is not with INFOPATH per se, but the whole approach used by ns-init-paths. Would it be possible to use the alternative you posted for all of these other variables as well, or would they be adjusted too late?
