Ask for information, getting home with a quantity of paper (7)
I believe the answer is:
inquire
'ask for information' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'home with a quantity of paper' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a quantity of paper' becomes 'quire' (unit for a large amount of paper).
'in'+'quire'='INQUIRE'
'getting' is the link.
(Other definitions for inquire that I've seen before include "investigation" , "Ask for information" .)
