 That's what's wrong.  The "localdir" ought to be in the info
directory in your site-wide packages tree.  (Here, it's
"/usr/local/lib/xemacs/packages/info").  It only looks for one of
either "dir" or "localdir" in each info directory.  If both are
present in a directory, the "dir" will be used.

 The difference between a "dir" file and a "localdir" file is mainly
just that the "localdir" doesn't need to have the "* Menu:" in it.
The one I'm using looks like:

* Message::	Emacs message composition mode.

 A "dir" file can have subnodes, just like any other .info file.  When
two "dir"'s have same-named nodes, they are merged.  (In the usual
case, at least on my Debian box, the "Top" nodes are merged.)

 Uhhmm..., move the file.  :-)
