Re: broken online help system

Here's another help system problem:

I added a new file to lsh/manual and a reference it in
lsh/lush-manual.hlp. I didn make again and rebuilt the latex
manual. Strangely, the new file/manual entry appears in the
online manual as presented by helptool, but it does not
appear in the latex manual.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ralf
