Don't know if this would work for you, but if you put the directory that contains the info files for the newly installed gnus first in your Info-default-directory-list then when you select the menu gnus in info it will pick up the first gnus.info file it comes across. I set mine like: (setq Info-default-directory-list (append (list (expand-file-name "~/lib/elisp/packages/gnus/texi/") (expand-file-name "~/lib/elisp/bbdb/") (expand-file-name "~/lib/elisp/dmacro/")) Info-default-directory-list (list (expand-file-name "~/lib/info/") (expand-file-name "/usr/local/local-info/")) )) The first 3 directories don't have a dir or localdir file in them. The directory ~/lib/info contains only a dir and localdir that contains menu items for bbdb and dmacro (these packages don't ship with xemacs, and thus don't have a menu entry in the default dir). Then /usr/local/local-info contains a dir and localdir with entries for all the info files in that directory, none of which are duplicated in any of the other directories. This way you don't have to change the dir/localdir entries unless you add a completely new info document. If you want the latest gnus docs, you just put it first in the Info-default-directory-list variable, and the menu item under /lib/xemacs-/info/dir will select it. -- Shane Holder e-mail: holder@rsn.hp.com Hewlett Packard phone: (214)497-4182 3000 Waterview Richardson, TX 75083
