| I reviewed your changes in CVS.  Unfortunately, the scripts do not work for
| me.  I am using Emacs 21.4 and gnuserv 3.12.7.  When I type:
| 
|     $ cd /tmp
|     $ emacs -eval "(gnuserv-start)" &
|     $ octave2.9 -q    
|     octave2.9:1> info_program ("info-emacs-info")
|     octave2.9:2> doc
| 
| a gnuclient window pops up but no info file is loaded.  Instead, a bunch of
| buffers are created, as seen in the output of C-x C-b:    
| 
|  MR Buffer           Size  Mode         File
|  -- ------           ----  ----         ----
|  .  "Top")              0  Fundamental  /tmp/"Top")
|     octave2.9.info"     0  Fundamental  /tmp/"/usr/share/info/octave2.9.info"
|     (Info-find-node     0  Fundamental  /tmp/(Info-find-node
|     info")              0  Fundamental  /tmp/"/usr/share/info")
|     'Info-directory-list  0  Fundamental/tmp/'Info-directory-list
|     (add-to-list        0  Fundamental  /tmp/(add-to-list
|     'info)              0  Fundamental  /tmp/'info)
|     (require            0  Fundamental  /tmp/(require 
| 
| 
| Using this instead (as in my original patch):
| 
|     gnuclient -batch -q -eval "$cmd"
| 
| fixes the problem.    

Oops.  I think it is fixed now.
