Hi,

Thanks for the response.

I've never used Info before, except for documentation of emacs and very few things are documented there. I suggest it should be presumed that people will look at "man wget" or "wget --help" and make sure the documentation is either the same, or that there is a level of indirection to "info wget"

The wget man page reports

         Turn proxy support on or off.  The proxy is on by
         default if the appropriate environmental variable is
         defined.

 Which is of course incomplete as it doesn't say WHAT the appropriate
 environmental variable is!

Thanks for the report. Note that the real Wget documentation is in Info format. The Info manual names the proxy environment variables in the "Proxies" node.
