Thanks Tim, will apply.

On your other question (ok, different list, but whatever :):

    @command RET" to be startled by "No index entries containing 
address@hidden'."

I've had that experience too.

    Is this a side-effect of the index sorting, a philosophi-
    cal issue or a simple oversight?

The first.  The original principal author of the manual (Bob Chassell),
made a separate command index precisely so that they could be sorted by
their first letters, and not all appear under "@".  That is, there's no
way in Texinfo to index "@foo" and have it sorted as "foo".

One can imagine extensions to Texinfo indexing to do this, as makeindex
et al., but it's never actually been done.  Texinfo indexing in general
has always been pretty simplistic.  Lots of TODO entries there ...
