You're right. Thanks for the explanation.

Well, I had the file in my source directory, with no DIR files
involved. I guess I was thinking that if I had the file *installed*, I
would write "info --usage lsh", and that I, in the absence of a DIR
file, had to add -f ./lsh to that.

I didn't know about those directives (I don't think they existed when
I wrote my first and previous texinfo manual a few years ago). Perhaps
they should be mentioned in "(texinfo) Sample Beginning"?
