In the description the word `info' is underlined. If you move the
marker to that word and press enter your are taken to the source code
of the function. That's what I meant. :-)

Alright, fair enough.

So you can read some pages with emacs info but others, that are
normally there, are gone when you try to read info from emacs. For
some reason I misread your initial message and thought that no info
pages worked under emacs. If just some pages are missing and others
are there, I have no clue what is wrong.
