I didn't know that was a feature in emacs. It isn't in the emacs I have installed, but that's Emacs 24.3, which isn't the latest version. This hasn't ever been a feature in the info browser, except for files that use separate nodes for footnotes. There is a command M-C-f that shows the footnotes, C-x 1 makes them go away again. > Incidentally, the version of info that is installed here with OpenBSD > 5.7 is 4.8. That's quite old.
