System name:		hodge
Type and version:	KN01 7.4G (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAX-MFB

What were you trying to do?
	Read info using the 'info' reader.

What's wrong:
	Typing, for instance, 'm gcc' to read the gcc info fails,
	because the gcc files aren't there.

What should have happened:
	I should have been able to read the gcc info files.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Various info files are in /afs/athena/project/gnu/info and
	/afs/sipb/project/gnu/info.  A lot of them are also in
	people's home directories, because the default info menu is
	rather sparse.  Athena should centralize FSF info files in
	/mit/sipb/lib/elisp/info so that this kind of duplication
	isn't necessary and to make it easier to read relevant info
	under both emacs and info.
