This is, I believe, the expected behaviour.
I had not thought that env vars were at work, so that might have been a problem if I ever got that far, but I was always getting emacs-21 info regardless. So I moved all the old emacs-21 info files into a subdir where they can't be found by mistake, rebooted for other reasons, and now get emacs-23 info. I think those old stale files were the visible problem hiding what would have been a new problem. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
