[xemacs-hg @ 2003-03-09 02:27:27 by ben] To: xemacs-patches@xemacs.org i.c: Sleep between calls to check for I/O, since these calls are non-blocking. behavior.el: Allow other keywords for forward compatibility. cl-macs.el: Rewrite to eliminate byte-compiler warning when `return' is used without `finally'. cmdloop.el: Avoid truncated error messages for `end-of-file' and the like. cmdloop.el: Avoid char-int error after syncing. files.el: Eliminate byte-compile warnings. printer.el: Fix line-width calculations. #### This used to work. Someone's changes (perhaps by Michael Sperber?) seem to have messed something up. simple.el: Use new clear-left-side functions to avoid messages ending up on the same line as other output. xemacs.mak: Add override for info/ as well when separate source/build dirs. xemacs.mak: Order sections in main build process and add comments. Add additional dependencies to try and prevent later steps from happening when failures in earlier steps have occurred. Makefile.in.in: Order sections in main build process and add comments. Add additional dependencies to try and prevent later steps from happening when failures in earlier steps have occurred. alloc.c: Don't arbitrarily clear Vconfigure_info_directory since it messes up separate build/source dirs. console.c, console.h, device-msw.c, device.c: Add accidentally omitted msprinter console and data descriptions. print.c, console-msw.c: Add clear-left-side functionality to help keep stdio/stderr output from separate sources on separate lines. Generalize the different kinds of debugging output. Add dpa(). profile.c: Add better docs on Unix/Windows differences. regex.c: Fix problems with rel-alloc compilation caused by previous patch. emacs.c: Seg fault rather than abort on Cygwin, since gdb doesn't trap aborts properly. console-gtk-impl.h, console-gtk.h, console-msw.h, console-x-impl.h, console-x.h, dialog-gtk.c, dialog-x.c, event-msw.c, frame-gtk.c, frame-x.c, frameslots.h, glyphs-gtk.c, glyphs-x.c, gui-gtk.c, gui-x.c, inline.c, menubar-gtk.c, menubar-msw.c, menubar-x.c, scrollbar-gtk.c, scrollbar-x.c, ui-gtk.c: Delete popup-data object. Delete menubar_data field from frames, since its usage is frame-specific. Delete menubar-msw.h, gui-x.h, gui-gtk.h. Clean up handling of lwlib callback data GCPRO'ing and add missing GCPRO recomputation in widget code.

This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the topmost node of the Info
hierarchy.  The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at that node,
which is (dir)Top.

Rather than adding new nodes to this directory (and this file) it is a better
idea to put them in a site-local directory, and then configure info to search
in that directory as well.  That way, you won't have to re-edit this file when
a new release of the editor comes out.

For example, you could add this code to .../lisp/site-start.el, which is
loaded before ~/.emacs each time the editor starts up:

  ;; find local info nodes
  (setq Info-directory-list
        (append Info-directory-list '("/private/info/")))

Then, when you enter info, a dir file like this one will be automatically
created and saved (provided you have write access to the directory).  The
contents of that file "/private/info/dir" will be appended to the contents of
this file.

  This is Info, the online documentation browsing system.
  This page (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics.

  button2 on a highlighted word follows that cross-reference.
  button3 anywhere brings up a menu of commands.
  ? lists additional keyboard commands.
  h invokes the Info tutorial.
