Thanks for the information.  This is actually what I was thinking, so I
spent about an hour doing searches for patches to info and couldn't find
any.  Maybe people just read these things in Emacs/XEmacs and there is
no patch for the standalone info viewer?

This is good to know that XEmacs works with other info pages.  I think that
when I did a recent upgrade of my system, I messed up some configuration
settings for XEmacs.   Although, I did have the same problem on a clean
installation of Debian Hamm-jp that I have on my laptop.  Hmm...   I'll
keep trying a few things.  It is really good to know that it works on
someone's system  though.

Regards,
Craig
