Re: How to get to info mode

[eric5931]

Hi all,

Thanks very much for all your help and information.

I tried to use bookmark to jump around different info roots (/usr/
share/info, emacs, and my own tips). It works in other boxes but just
not this one.

With the info I got here, I finally decided to add my local info file
to "Info-directory-list". This gives me a very big list whic hcontains
everything (which I was trying to avoid by using bookmarks). But it
works now.

I still don't know why this emacs (built from source) didn't
automatically recognize /usr/share/info/dir though.

Eric.
