[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I am in infrequent user of texinfo mode - I haven't used it for at
least one version of Emacs. I was just trying to edit an existing
.texi file that I use to maintain personal information and have found
that the texinfo short-cut keys nolonger work. I checked in the
texinfo help section of Emacs and they are still listed as legal
sequences, so I believe a bug has crept into the distribution.

I was trying to add a node using C-c C-c n and after typing C-c C-c I
was presented with a prompt on the command line of:

Command: (default TeX)

Since all the other bindings use the same C-c C-c sequence, they all
appear to be broken.

This same problem occurs in Emacs 23 pretest.

Regards
Peter

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
c:/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

This indicates you are using the AUCTeX package. This defines its own
Texinfo mode, with different keybindings to the standard mode. AUCTeX
is not part of Emacs. Consult the AUCTeX documentation for the AUCTeX
keybindings. Or stop loading AUCTeX in your .emacs or site-start file.

An AUCTeX command.
