Somewhere I read that this should be done by modifying
the /etc/apt/sources.list file. I tried changing this to:
> deb http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ lenny main
> deb http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ lenny non-free
but I'm still only seeing the stuff in main.
The thing I'm looking for at the moment is the info pages
for emacs.

Did you run a "aptitude update" after the change, in order to ask
aptitude to reload the lists? If not, you can't see the non-free stuff..

Not sure if this will help or not, but have you tried putting it all
in the same line:
> deb http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ lenny main non-free
then make sure to:
> aptitude update
after you make the changes

Hello Charles,
You can do all this on the one line, as in:
deb http://debian.uchicago.edu/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
Then do:
Update
Safe-upgrade
You will have to ensure that you have saved the changes after editing the file, also, otherwise it will simply revert to it's former state, which is what sounds like is happening.

I don't know about this as I'm one of the lucky ones that uses Vim, but I should suspect that those should be in main anyway?
Regards,
Weaver.

You would think so, but due to invariant sections in the documentation
they're stuck in non-free.
