Subject: 24.4.50; help-for-help inaccuracy
Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2014 16:37:38 +0100

Invoking help-for-help via C-h C-h the text includes the explanation:

S SYMBOL    Show the section for the given symbol in the on-line manual
              for the programming language used in this buffer.

I expected this to use an online (i.e.external to my box, presumably
HTTP accessed) manual but it actually invokes info-lookup-symbol.

Suggest  changing the text to read :

Show the section for the given symbol in the installed info manual for
the programming language used in this buffer.
