i saw mention of that shortcut in the manual, but as you can imagine, that's not terribly interesting to me. i don't use emacs, and i'm not expecting everyone else who helps maintain texinfo sources to use emacs. but if there's an emacs shortcut to autogenerate/update, it implies that making an actual texinfo command to do it isn't unreasonable ? -mike
