I just tried it, and now I no longer have org in my info directory. Here
is the value of Info-default-directory-list
("/Users/schmitta/.emacs.d/org/info" "/usr/local/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-24.3-mac-4.1/share/info/emacs/" "/usr/share/info/")
and here is the value of Info-directory-list
("/Users/schmitta/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-11.86" "/usr/share/info/")
As it's the latter that is used to find the info files, it means that it
won't find org. It seems that it is initialized before my initialization
file can add the directory to the default value. (I'm using the startup
kit, if it makes a difference.)
I just read the help on "Info-directory-list", and it does not say I
should not set it. Why is it bad? And how should I make emacs pick up
the value from default?
Thanks,
Alan
