By golly, [] does work.  Perhaps my XEmacs is finding the info pages
for Emacs.  My info pages specify /x:foo with no mention of [] or
differences between the two.  

Why does the syntax have to different between Emacs and XEmacs?  Can't
this be hidden behind find-name-handlers and such?

Thanks very much!
