Moreover, its documentation (not a man page, of course), contains detailed instructions on how to do so: http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/info-stnd/html_node/infokey-source-format.html It suffices to copy-n-paste the proposed .infokey contents and run infokey. > scrolls half a page -- or gets stuck at the bottom of a node, which > is infuriating. I don't find anything strange that it stops at the end of a logical unit of text. Regards, Sergey
