Okay, so I know this is a dumb question, but humor me anyway 8-).

Just what does TeX do?  I don't know anything about it (obviously),
but am a willing learner.  A brief summary is all I need.  If you
can get it in less space that this message, that's even better!

Please email responses to me at the adress below.

Thanks.
