hyperspec-naggum.el has already been patched in December 2001
(available from the CVS tree) to work with arbitrary _local_ versions
of the HyperSpec. Now that you've changed the online version I think
we only need to change the hard-coded symbol table to accommodate the
default case (i.e. user doesn't have Map_Sym.txt available locally and
wants to use the online version anyway).

I've attached the modified version to this mail (the whole file - a
patch would be almost twice as big). Works for me. Maybe we can test
and include this before 5.12 is out?

Cheers,
Edi.
