Hey folks,

 I'm trying to convert the emacs-* info files that come with 18.55
into an ASCII-printable version.  For the most part, the heading
structure is easy to extract from the underlines:

****** is a chapter
====== is a section
------ is a subsection
...... is a subsubsection

Using this information, I can reconstruct almost the entire printed
manual from the info files.

HOWEVER, the printed manual has a chapter on "Miscellaneous Commands"
which fits in between "Reading Mail with RMAIL" and "Customization".
I can't find this chapter heading anywhere in the info files.  As a
result, "Running Shell Commands from Emacs" ends up under "Reading
Mail with RMAIL" which makes no sense at all.

Is this a bug in the info files?  A bug in the texinfo -> info
converter?  Not a bug at all?

-Michael
