I > couldn't find it in the info info manual (in 21.3). uuups, now i see,that the clone-buffer advice is comen knowledge.. sorry. one over thing which might be quite help full with muliple info buffers: the u command with prefix doesn't alowe to leave the current file: that is very help full if you want something like an *info elisp* buffer: when you bind C-u u to a single key you can move up without worrying about leaving your particular manual. i'm thinking about a little function which generates and renames an info buffer (maybe plus frame) and jumps straight to the appropiate manual.something you cal call like (make-info-topic-frame "elisp"). when used again with the same string ideally it would jump to the existing buffer, but that might be a bit hard... cheers, leo
