Selecting an item in the list shown by "? limit",
I get the text of just that item. Likewise for
"? lim", "? tlim", "? tlimit". Running gcl on linux,
rebuilt Maxima from cvs yesterday. Clisp on linux,
Maxima cvs from a couple of weeks ago is also OK.

Grepping the info files I see atrig1 and ntrig are
marked by @defvr. "? trig" gives a list and if I 
select some item or items I see just those.

What exactly do you see when you select an item?
Do you see the same thing for any item on the list?
What version of Lisp on which OS are you running?
Do all @defun/@defvar items work OK and all @deffn/@defvr
items fail?

All the best,
Robert Dodier
