Re: Emacs info files

I have a new cygwin installation on which I have also installed

actually check right now). Why would I not have them, and how can
I get them? One difference is that the new installation has
emacs-nox whereas the older one has emacs-X11 (although I
actually only ever use it from the console, I don't use X).

Oh. C-h i in emacs shows the info page *confuzzed*

Tip from my NOTE file for native Emacs under Windows:

** Setup INFOPATH.

To browse info file inside Emacs set INFOPATH like this:


INFOPATH=e:/bin/gnutls/share/info;e:/bin/gnuwin32/info;e:/bin/gnuwin32/share/info;e:/bin/MinGW/info;e:/bin/MinGW/share/info;e:/bin/wget/info:


for MinGW or

INFOPATH='~/usr/share/info;d:/opt/cygwin/usr/share/info:'

for Cygwin.

Note that last colon symbol is essential for include also Emacs info to list.
