Missing dired documentation

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I just noticed that the dired documentation appears to be way out of date; for example, it does not cover the mark "m" command. I looked at FSF Emacs 20.5, and it seems that the relevant documentation was written in 1994, so I'm a bit surprised that you haven't got it yet. This is a problem I've noticed more than once in XEmacs: that the main info files appear to be horribly out of date in several cases. Would it not be possible to sync them with FSF Emacs's latest versions? I can't imagine that the changes would be very great (although I'm sure that it's a bit more than s/Emacs/XEmacs/!). I'm very keen to have this fixed, so I'd be happy to do it myself with a bit of guidance. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux msrc-v-reubth.europe.corp.microsoft.com 2.4.3-12 #1 Fri Jun 8 15:05:56 EDT 2001 i686 unknown ./configure '--prefix=/home/rrt' '--with-mule' XEmacs 21.4.4 "Artificial Intelligence" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
