RE: "RTFM'ing": readily accessible user documentation?


Leaving aside whether this is the right forum
to bring up this issue, I'll vote for Soren's
suggestion.

OK, I learned a few valuable lessons in the
couple of days last month it took me to
clue into install-info ("dir is a file?"), and
maybe this is more of a "pons asinorum" than
an "Instructions for opening are on the inside"
situation.

That being said, I really would have appreciated
a hint about where the documentation lives and
how to get at it.

Thanks, John

Subject: "RTFM'ing": readily accessible user documentation?


Hello,

When I try to use `info blah' on my Cygwin system I get the error
info: dir: No such file or directory
<---cut---->
Couldn't this script [to run install-info], or something like it, be made a
part of Cygwin and 
run each time a setup installation procedure is completed? Couldn't the 
user AT LEAST be prompted to choose whether to run it, or advised that he 
should?
