The commands I use most are "spacebar", which just chugs through an entire manual, and "s", which does a regexp search. I do like info pages when I can actually get the right ones to load. The big problem I have with info is in setting it up so that it finds the right files. For instance, I have totally failed to work out how I can tell it where my org info files are, with the result that it always shows me the old version that comes with my emacs (currently 4.67). I have tried setting Info-default-directory-list and Info-directory-list, but all to no avail. Has anyone else had this problem?
