Venu, you speak the truth, the info pages are full of information, but honestly (and no offense to RMS) -- info isn't the easiest program in the world to master. I *do* wish info had vi-bindings. Maybe it is just me, but the vi bindings seem very intuitive after only a few years. :) Anything else just seems silly. Since I never use it (feels wierd, like speaking russian) I never think of it. So, to the original poster -- do check the info docs. ("info" is enough to get there. :) (NO! Not flame-bait! Just my not-so-humble opinion... :) I would be more inclined to use info if I could use it similar to vi. (Hmmm... senior-project -- write an info-to-vim converter? Nah, they would never go for that... but it sure would be NICE! :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam? See http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ for help Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
