Re-reading this thread gave me hints at a solution. I don't know what happened on my end, but try the following steps, which worked for me: 1) Navigate to your org source directory (git repo, perhaps) 2) Type =make info= 3) Make sure the org/doc directory is in Info-directory-list (looks like it is for you) Kill any Info buffers and restart Info. The manual should be the correct one now. If that doesn't fix it, try also typing =make install-info=, which updates the site-wide documentation. Let me know if this solves the problem for you, and if you had to type =make install-info=. Jeff -- Jeffrey Horn http://www.failuretorefrain.com/jeff/
