i am really trying to figure out how texinfo files work.
as an example, i downloaded the latest latex documentation
i could find, latex2e.texi, which is some sort of texinfo
file. i thought you could just run
this file through latex, generating a .dvi file, and then
dvips it for hardcopy. this doesn't work.

so i loaded the file into emacs, hoping the texinfo mode
would automatically load up, which it did, and provide a
command to print out the file, which i couldn't get it to 
do.

i know the whole point of texinfo is to allow people to write
the printed documentation at the same time as the on-line
docs, so i know it's possible to print out this latex2e manual,
but i don't know how. i tried the tex FAQ for the answer, but
couldn't find it.

if anyone could point me to a good reference on how to write,
use, and print texinfo files using emacs, i'd really appreciate
it.

thanks,
charlie
