I've finally managed to do this; I've cut down the groff Texinfo manual from over 18 thousand lines to about 130. I'm attaching it and the PDF output. Not knowing anything about Texinfo internals, and seeing what happens when I comment these lines out, I suspect the problem lies with the following. @c This suppresses the word `Appendix' in the appendix headers. @tex \gdef\gobblefirst#1#2{#2} \gdef\putwordAppendix{\gobblefirst} @end tex Evidently this technique is too crude. Is there a better way to accomplish this that will reliably work on all supported Texinfo output formats? Regards, Branden
