I recently added the following to my .emacs, after much (too much)
searching of the docs:
(eval-after-load "info"
'(progn (info-initialize)
(push "/usr/src/packages/BUILD/emacs-21.1/info/" Info-directory-list)))
This was the only way I found of appending to the front of
Info-directory-list which works regardless of whether or not Info has
already been loaded (for example, by desktop).
Surely there's got to be a better way? One that doesn't involve arcane
constructions like eval-after-load and calling functions like
info-initialise which feel like they ought to be internal private
functions rather than public functions.
Anybody got any ideas to share?

(like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
