Thanks!  Here's what I got.

(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list 
                (expand-file-name "~/bbdb-2.32/texinfo"))


Then I went digging around -- I found Info-additional-directory-list.
It seems like it might be better?  Ideas?

(add-to-list 'Info-additional-directory-list 
                (expand-file-name "~/bbdb-2.32/texinfo"))


If I were to use the Info-default-directory-list, I've got a style
question.  It seems that "add-on" packages like this should be
appended (not pre-pended) to the list.  Is that so?  (It makes a
difference in the final optional argument to add-to-list.)

;;; prepend it
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list 
                (expand-file-name "~/bbdb-2.32/texinfo"))

;;; append it -- preferred???
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list 
                (expand-file-name "~/bbdb-2.32/texinfo") t)
