Hi there
I switched to Cygwin emacs and since then the help to a function
(`describe-function')
does not bring up the file the is defined in (e.g. "dired.el"). NTemacs and
Emacs on Mac
do this out of the box.
Is there any path variable not set?
Thanks, Leo

To keep the size of the emacs package down, it doesn't include the elisp
files. If you want those, you need to install the emacs-el package.
Then everything should work as you expect. Write again if it doesn't,
with a complete recipe for reproducing the problem.

Thanks Ken, that was it. I should have looked earlier in the emacs lisp
directory, than I had seen that there were only elc files...
