No, _info_ is doing it wrong. When one wants to see the options of gawk, one does 'info --usage gawk', when the options of grep, 'info --usage grep', when the options of info, 'info --usage info'. How is one supposed to know that in order to read about info, one suddenly has to provide a different name? 'info' itself should know this and cleverly show the correct page. > > In my opinion the info and info-stnd documents should really > > become a single document. > > That would be good, but the problem is that info.texi is > maintained by the Emacs project, while info-stnd.texi is > maintained by the Texinfo project. Rename the first to info-extra and the latter to info, and most of the problem is already solved. Emacs should not name squat a file that another program needs. Benno
