| The info-emacs-octave-help seems to suffer from the same problem. It
| may be better to apply the simple patch below to doc.m:

| --- doc.m-orig 2006-09-03 17:04:16.216249600 +0200

| info_file_name = info_file ();
| endif
|
| - cmd = sprintf ("\"%s\" --directory \"%s\" --file \"%s\"",
| + cmd = sprintf ("\"%s\" --file \"%s\" --directory \"%s\"",
| info_program (), info_dir, info_file_name);
|
| if (! isempty (fname))
I made this change. Is the other patch for info-emacs-info still
needed?
Thanks,
