Re: getting the source finding button in c-h f help buffers to work

[Samuel Wales]

find-function-source-path does not work.  it is already supposed to work.

"If this variable is nil then `find-function' searches `load-path' by
default."

also we need variables, not only functions.

why did the functionality stop working?
