================================================================
Thanks to Henrik and Galen.
Magic. It worked!! Is there a preference for "(bbdb)" or
"(bbdb.info)"? I used the later.
How could I have figured that out myself? I'd scoured the info node
for Info a whole bunch.
Can someone fold the "update the info/dir" directions into the INSTALL
file for BBDB?
Why does the process file manipulation? It seems to me that I have to
remember to remember my updates to the emacs-21.1/info/dir file when I
get a new version of emacs. That doesn't seem like a reasonable
maintenance procedure. Is there a way to do it all in ~/.emacs, or at
least without modifying the distribution files?

Fortunately for me, they were already there because I don't have a
texi2dvi.exe on this WinDOS machine. Depencencies, dependencies...
Thanks again.....
