Two things wrong with that. First, I have eselect'ed emacs-23, yet I still see what I believe to be emacs-21 info (I have been looking at the macro help in particular; maybe there is a better way of finding the info version). Second, eselect only shows the emacs-22 and emacs-23 options, which presumably correspond to the two subdirs of the same name, but I still have the three year old .gz info files which are probably the emacs-21 files, and which is what info finds. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
