Info works fine for me. Typing in $ info gives me this: File: dir, Node: Top This is the top of the INFO tree This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics. Typing "q" exits, "?" lists all Info commands, "d" returns here, "h" gives a primer for first-timers, "mEmacs<Return>" visits the Emacs manual, etc. In Emacs, you can click mouse button 2 on a menu item or cross reference to select it. * Menu: Miscellaneous * File utilities: (fileutils). GNU file utilities. * chgrp: (fileutils)chgrp invocation. Change file groups. * chmod: (fileutils)chmod invocation. Change file permissions. * chown: (fileutils)chown invocation.

List directory contents. * mkdir: (fileutils)mkdir invocation. Create directories. * mkfifo: (fileutils)mkfifo invocation. Create FIFOs (named pipes). * mknod: (fileutils)mknod invocation. Create special files. * mv: (fileutils)mv invocation. Rename files. * rm: (fileutils)rm invocation. Remove files. * rmdir: (fileutils)rmdir invocation.

List directories verbosely. -----Info: (dir)Top, 36 lines --All------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ Welcome to Info version 4.2. Type C-h for help, m for menu item. Do you have the pinfo program installed? If so, what does it do when you try to run it? If not, you can install it with the setup.exe program and see if it works but info still doesn't. -Jason PS - I apologize in advance for the legal disclaimer at the bottom of my email message.
