This part is OK.

Ouch, "enablement"...  How about "state" instead?

This clever way of cross-references doesn't work.  First @xref
produces a capitalized "See", which is inappropriate in the middle of
a sentence.  But even if you replace it with @ref, there's still that
"*note" that will look awkward.  And finally, the "Sequences" part is
displayed by Info readers, unlike HTML where the corresponding part of
a reference would not be displayed.  So I suggest this instead:

  Enable or disable the auto-loading of canned sequences of commands
  (@pxref{Sequences}) found in init file in the current directory.

This index entry is way too long.  How about

 @cindex report auto-loading from current directory

Did you really mean to omit the "off" part?

  Globally disable any auto-loading ...

This @xref needs the same surgery as I show above.

OK with those changes.
