Are there bug entries for this in sf?  I can't seem to find them to 
flag.

Um - got me there.  Andrey, are you up on that one?  (Incidently, I 
flagged the 1162854 bug for 5.9.2 and added your comments to it.  
We should probably make sure that whatever needs doing to have 
5.9.2 work with latest TeXmacs is done, if possible - Jim, what do 
you think?)

Robert's on that, IIRC - how close is that Robert?  If that can be 
completed in time I'll add an item to generate new html files for 
the web pages.

IIRC I saw a behavior where describe would display the entire file 
rather than the single relevant entry - is that what you saw?  I 
was never sure if that was just some fluke on my system or not.
