Installing On-Line Documentation

It is possible to look up the documentation for any built in or library predicate from within Emacs (using C-c ? or the menu). For this to work Emacs must be told about the location of the info-files that make up the documentation. This can be done for the entire emacs installation or on a per user basis; see Installation, for further details.

The default location for the info-files are <prefix>/lib/sicstus-3.9.1/doc/info/ on UNIX platforms and C:\Program Files\SICStus Prolog 3.9.1\doc\info\ on Windows.

More recent versions of GNU Emacs and XEmacs should be able to automatically incorporate info files from a subdirectory into the main Info documentation tree. It is therefore recommended that the SICStus Info files are kept together in their own directory.
