Now it works - thanks! The strange thing is that I can't remember
uncompressing those files and I can't think why I would have wanted to
(none of the other info files in the directory are uncompressed!)  Emacs
gives a message that it is uncompressing whichever info file it is using
but it doesn't do it to that directory even if you run it as root (which
I wouldn't normally do anyway.)  So I have no idea how they got there!
The only things I can think of are that an older version of the package
had copies of the files uncompressed or that Sage put them there - I
can't test for this without re-installing Sage, which I don't
particularly want to do at present.

Thanks for your help!
