I found the source of my confusion with manual versions. I keep pgnus somewhat current and have aimed emacs at its lisp and texi directories. My last update (info pages) was old enough to still say 5.8.7 Although it was a somewhat old version of 5.8.8. After cvs updating yesterday I used the info reader to look at the new info file `pgnus/texi/gnus' I used the -f flag to open the file directly or so I thought. But still saw 5.7 manual version. This command info -f gnus (while in texi directory) Finally I looked up `info info' to see if I had it wrong. Guess what, I couldn't find the `-f' operator in `info info' No section with title like `Options' either. (except internal options). Using `s' search and inserting `-f' gives lots of hits but none of them are about the `-f' option. Finally resorted to `man info' and found the option immediately. And an example: info -f ./foo.info show file ./foo.info, not searching dir Notice the ./ he he... Even with `info -f file' I was still getting the 5.7 manual, because I hadn't thought to say ./file
