Leaving aside whether this is the right forum
to bring up this issue, I'll vote for Soren's
suggestion.
OK, I learned a few valuable lessons in the
couple of days last month it took me to
clue into install-info ("dir is a file?"), and
maybe this is more of a "pons asinorum" than
an "Instructions for opening are on the inside"
situation.
That being said, I really would have appreciated
a hint about where the documentation lives and
how to get at it.
Thanks, John

Hello,
When I try to use `info blah' on my Cygwin system I get the error
info: dir: No such file or directory
<---cut---->
Couldn't this script [to run install-info], or something like it, be made a
part of Cygwin and
run each time a setup installation procedure is completed? Couldn't the
user AT LEAST be prompted to choose whether to run it, or advised that he
should?
