Oh!  It does.  (I have made an entirely new checkout, to make

Mine is slightly different, but looks fine:

It works fine here now.  Thanks.

One little thing.  When one does <End> on any Info page, the cursor
will sit directly below the last line.  But when one does <End> on an
Index page, the cursor will sit *two* lines below the last line.  This
makes me think that something went wrong, that there is invisible text
or something of the sort.  It would be nice if that extra blank line
wasn't there.
