In the article preceding which I cancelled because I found a workaround, I
wrote: 

  I've been having trouble with hyper-man; I can't get both the UNIX manual 
  page browser and the Emacs info browser available at once.  
  
  The sequence
  	(load "load-hyper") 
  	(hyper-man-begin) 
  lets me get the UNIX browser up, but any attempts to get to the Emacs info 
  browser (like, by typing 'M-x info' lead me back to the UNIX one.  
  
  The sequence 
  	(load "load-hyper") 
  	(hyper-man-begin) 
  	(load "info") 
  gives me the error "Info file /u14/tts/rick/hyper-man/dir does not exist".  
  (/u14/tts/rick is my home directory.)  
  
  Annoyingly, while playing around with things I have managed to get both 
  browsers working, but I'm damned if I recall how. Anyone got any suggestions 
  on how to get both working in harmony?

I've since found that the following sequence allows me to get what I want:
 	(load "load-hyper")
	(setq In-Hyper-Man nil)
	(info)
	(hyper-man-begin)

Damned if I can work out why, though....
