Hello Eli,

To my understanding @xref works o= nly for info links (node names or anchors, or qualified thereof where the q= ualificator is the info document name) --- maybe I am wrong, tell me if so = ---  but I want to refer to an HTML or PDF document.

  Vincent.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand why support for
file:// protocol is needed in Info.  Info already supports its own
protocol of referencing to an external file, via the @xref command and
its varieties, with 4 or more arguments.  So why cannot you simply use=
one of those cross-referencing commands, if you want a reference to
another manual?

Thanks.
