I meant an index entry.

When I wrote the previous message, I didn't have the Gawk manual
nearby, so I couldn't check.  Now I do, and sure thing, typing
"i sub TAB TAB" in the stand-alone Info reader shows, among others,
this entry:

            sub built-in function

like I expected ;-)

Did I ever say that the Gawk manual is one of the best I ever read?
