i'm not sure i understand. i've built and installed 24.4 from
source. Say i do:
C-h f sort RET
A buffer is opened saying "sort is a built-in function in `C source
code'." If i TAB to the "C source code" link and press RET, the file
fns.c is opened in a new buffer, with point at line 1733:
DEFUN ("sort", Fsort, Ssort, 2, 2, 0,
i haven't done any particular configuration (e.g. something like the
above 'let')in order for all this to happen. It just works "out of the
box".
Is this in fact what you're wanting? If so, i take it the above doesn't
work for you?
Alexis.
