-*- Text -*- 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.
