I am looking for information regarding the construction of an index
using latex.  I have read about the subject in Lamport's user's guide
and I understand the parts about generating the *.idx file and
generating the index at the end of my file.  I am looking for a way of
getting from the .idx file to the sorted list of index \item entries,
or some other means of automating the process --- there *has* to be a
better way than doing it by hand, like the book suggests.  I have
found an undocumented executable called texindex; nobody seems to know
what it is for, and I can't figure out by trial and error what it is
supposed to do.


thanks,
