376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:

4 hierarchy. The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at that node,
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:

5 which is (dir)Top.

7 Rather than adding new nodes to this directory (and this file) it is a better
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
8 idea to put them in a site-local directory, and then configure info to search
376386a54a3c Import from CVS: tag r19-14
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
9 in that directory as well. That way, you won't have to re-edit this file when
