aah, now I see the "problem" - I guess it would be difficult for info to sort out, what the user meant, so info looks for an exact match, and if none is found looks for the *1st* menu entry, which starts with the given prefix - as the menu entry ``printing text'' comes long before ``pr invocation'' info selects the first match. There are several ways to come up with this: · info coreutils 'pr ' the blank is important here, so info selects the wanted menu item · resorting the menu items, so ``pr invocation'' comes before ``printing text'' · hacking an ugly shell-wrapper :) THX for listening.
