Only interactive functions may be invoked from M-x. This function, not being interactive is not bound to any key and so C-h w (where-is) is unable to find it. To invoke dired-noselect is probably not something you want to do directly. However, one method you could use to invoke it directly would be to use eval-expression which is bound to ESC ESC by default. Enjoy! -- Mark D.
