Subject: Why is xemacs's info such a bitch to work with?

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted as well.
OK what am I doing wrong?
I've installed a later version of gnus as
ding chooses to use the gnus, gnus-1 naming scheme

File: localdir Node: Top This is the top of the INFO tree
This is Info, the online documentation browsing system.
This page (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics.
button1 or button2 on a highlighted word follows that cross-reference.
button3 anywhere brings up a menu of commands.
? lists additional keyboard commands.
h invokes the Info tutorial.
* Menu:
* SGNUS:(gnus.info). Lars's cool GNUS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info-directory-list is
Info-directory-list's value is ("/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.14/info/" "/usr/local/info")
However, when I try to traverse the SGNUS node it loads the gnus node from
the xemacs info directory not my site-local directory.
I believe if it founds the node definition for my info that any nodes are
then relative from my localdir _not_ dir
What am I missing?
XEMACS 19.14
