Thanks, fixed.

The Info browser was unable to get the information about the index cookie
support, so it treated it as a non-cookie file, and the temporary value of
Info-point-loc (set by navigation from the index node to the defined line
number) mislead into skipping a list of index nodes in the Top node.

In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.4 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2008-10-07 on lamacq.ph.ed.ac.uk
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.60802000
configured using `configure  '-C' '--prefix=/scratch/s0198183/applications/emacs-trunk/' 'CFLAGS=-ggdb3 -O0' '--without-rsvg''

emacs -Q
C-h i d m Elisp RET
i set-text-properties RET

takes me to the set-text-properties entry in the Elisp manual (as
expected).

emacs -Q
C-h S add-text-properties RET ; use info-look to find add-text-properties
C-x b *info* RET              ; switch to info buffer
i                             ; try to lookup something in the index

complains "No index"

Cheers,
Lawrence
