No, it does not do that in my dir file, but it does visit the proper node when within a manual. I do not know why this is. This is with a plain vanilla Emacs: no .emacs file, no site file. When dir is /usr/local/info/dir and point is just before the `r' of `format', in the menu line that says: * Texinfo: (texinfo). The GNU documentation format. when I press RET (Info-follow-nearest-node), I receive the error message: Info-next-preorder: No more nodes However, when point is just before the `x' of `Texinfo', when I press RET, I visit the Texinfo manual. Within that manual, regardless of where point is on a *-line, RET (Info-follow-nearest-node) sends me to the node for that line. -- Robert J.
