The Texinfo documentation is a bit awkward to browse, but if you are interested in finding out how modules can be used to create arbitrary `collections' of files, see: % info '(cvs)' Look for the section titled ``The modules file''. The most interesting part of this is probably the description of the -a option, in the subsection ``Alias modules''. - Giorgos
