[xemacs-hg @ 2002-07-23 08:34:59 by youngs] 2002-07-15 Jerry James <james@xemacs.org> * make-docfile.c: Change whitespace and organization to reduce the size of the diff against FSF Emacs sources and synch to Emacs 21.2. Remove unused DO_REALLOC. Mark XEmacs changes and additions more clearly. Reintroduce previously deleted Emacs code inside #if 0 ... #endif. * make-docfile.c (next_extra_elc): Replace goto with do-while. * make-docfile.c (main): Put XEmacs-only args in one place. * make-docfile.c (write_c_args): Change buff to buf to match Emacs. Replace pointer arithmetic with simpler array syntax. * make-docfile.c (scan_c_file): Note that DEFSIMPLE and DEFPRED no longer exist. Correct the "name too long" test (off by one). Die with message if a DEFUN has no docstring instead of hanging. * make-docfile.c (scan_lisp_file): Introduce while loops used in Emacs sources to skip consecutive blank lines. 2002-07-21 John Paul Wallington <jpw@xemacs.org> * process.el (substitute-env-vars): New function; sync with GNU Emacs 21.1.50. (setenv): Add optional arg SUBSTITUTE-ENV-VARS; sync with GNU Emacs 21.1.50. 2002-07-20 Mike Sperber <mike@xemacs.org> * eval.c (run_post_gc_hook): Use more correct flags when running post-gc-hook. 2002-07-20 Mike Sperber <mike@xemacs.org> * process-unix.c (child_setup): Don't try to close file descriptors for chid process once again---it's already being done in close_process_descs. (unix_create_process): Call begin_dont_check_for_quit to inhibit unwanted interaction (and thus breaking of X event synchronicity) in the child. 2002-07-15 Jerry James <james@xemacs.org> * lisp.h: Make Qdll_error visible globally. * symbols.c (check_sane_subr): Revert 2002-06-26 change. Check only if !initialized. * symbols.c (check_module_subr): Add parameter. Duplicate check_sane_subr checks, but signal an error instead of asserting. * symbols.c (defsubr): Use check_module_subr parameter. * symbols.c (defsubr_macro): Ditto.

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.


File: dir	Node: Top	This is the top of the INFO tree

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

  button1 or 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.
