12 Two things wrong with that. First, I have eselect'ed emacs-23, yet I
13 still see what I believe to be emacs-21 info (I have been looking at
14 the macro help in particular; maybe there is a better way of finding
15 the info version). Second, eselect only shows the emacs-22 and
16 emacs-23 options, which presumably correspond to the two subdirs of
17 the same name, but I still have the three year old .gz info files
18 which are probably the emacs-21 files, and which is what info finds.
