Hello Mark, Andy, While you are at the manual, may I point to some suggestion I made about the structure and contents of the indexes which still is, IMHO, valid today. [w= anted to actually really point the email in guile-devel archive but but it didn't le= t me parse before october 2009 ...] I didn't and still don't have [yet] the skill to fluently and bug freely ma= nipulate large doc written in texinfo, otherwise I would have done it.

So in fact now I completely agree with what you've suggested. Regards, Neil
