I am working on a Dell GX110 running the 9.0 release.  I have a pretty
standard Emacs window running.

I give the command C-h i which brings me to the Info documentation
reader.

Within that I type mEmacs<ret> which should bring up the built-in Emacs
manual.  It doesn't.  It's not there.

I ssh to an Ultra 5 running the current release.  I start a pretty
standard Emacs window.

I give the command C-h i which brings me to the Info documentation
reader.

Within that I type mEmacs<ret> which should bring up the built-in Emacs
manual.  It does.  It's there, right where it's supposed to be.

Is this a new Athena release thing or a Dell thing in general?

I thought someone might want to know about this.
