Did you have a local "dir" file too or put in a link into one of the
others?
I suspect this is getting a little OT now and more "How does info work"
:-; But it's reassuring to hear that others scratch their heads a little
too. I have lots of unresolved dir links since I removed (uninstalled
properly) emacs 22 and 21 and went for CVS Emacs 23 and that only adds
to my info woes ...
