3 This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the topmost node of the Info
4 hierarchy. The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at that node,
7 Rather than adding new nodes to this directory (and this file) it is a better
8 idea to put them in a site-local directory, and then configure info to search
9 in that directory as well. That way, you won't have to re-edit this file when
10 a new release of the editor comes out.
12 For example, you could add this code to .../lisp/site-start.el, which is
13 loaded before ~/.emacs each time the editor starts up:
15 ;; find local info nodes
16 (setq Info-directory-list
17 (append Info-directory-list '("/private/info/")))
19 Then, when you enter info, a dir file like this one will be automatically
20 created and saved (provided you have write access to the directory). The
21 contents of that file "/private/info/dir" will be appended to the contents of
25 File: dir Node: Top This is the top of the INFO tree
