bug#6859: [address@hidden: corrected .emacs snippet for merging your own Info files]

[Karl Berry]

I received this report on bug-texinfo.  Is this correct?  If so, it
seems sad that a recommendation that has been around forever (the
"currently" in Rob's msg) no longer works, but if it has to be, it has
to be.  Please advise ...

Thanks,
Karl

Subject: corrected .emacs snippet for merging your own Info files

Dear maintainer,

I found that what's suggested in the following section of the Texinfo manual 
doesn't work:

21.2.3 Info Files in Other Directories

* currently:

(require 'info)
(setq Info-directory-list
      (cons (expand-file-name "/home/bob/info")
            Info-directory-list))

* should be:

(add-hook 'Info-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (add-to-list 'Info-directory-list
                          (expand-file-name "~/info"))))

Best regards,

Rob
