There is an environment variable called INFOPATH that you can set to a
list of directories where .info or .inf files are stored. I believe there
is a setting in the djgpp.env file, but if you use any other editors (like
JED) that let you read info files, they may not know about DJGPP's unique
environment provisions. Set INFOPATH like this under DOS:
set INFOPATH=c:/djgpp/info;c:/djgpp/gnu/emacs/info;...
These should be all the directories where you have info files you want
found by info, emacs, JED, etc.
Hope this helps.
