>From my previous message:

            The problem with `locate'
          to refer to the executable program of that name is that it creates a
          link to the _Emacs_ command locate, creating even more confusion.

      We should suppress the link in that case.  Does this patch do it?

   It still produces a link, in the sense that it will show the docstring
   of the function `locate' if you hit RET on the `locate' in
   "program `locate'", but at least, after the patch, the word `locate'
   is no longer underlined.

Actually, the fact that it still produces a link is just a special
case of the fact that apparently _every_ word in a docstring, whether
quoted or not, is a link if you click the mouse or press RET on it, as
long as it is the name of a Lisp function, variable or face.  For
instance if you click the mouse or press RET on any of the words
"and, or, not, when, if, while" and so on in a docstring, whether
quoted or not, you go to the doc of the corresponding Lisp function.

Sincerely,

Luc.
