When doing non-exactly menu lookup, the stand-alone info reader looks for an exact match (returning the first hit), then a case-insensitive match (returning the first hit), then a case-insensitive prefix match (returning the last hit). (This is in info_follow_menus.) In my /usr/share/info/dir, gcc-3.3 comes before gccint-3.3, and there are no other gcc entries installed. It looks like the order is alphabetical within sections (ie, Development). So a solution to my specific problem would be to rename things so the gcc file is alphabetically last. That's pretty dumb, though. Ideally, there would be a way to give an info page an alias, but that doesn't seem to exist. Maybe the best thing is to change the weird logic in the info reader. Or I should just give up and admit that info pages don't correspond directly to program names. Andrew
