Firstly, thanks to Robin Fairbairns for the answer to my previous BiBtEx
question - problem solved.
I have a question now about index generation:
My document frogs.tex is structured
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\begin{document}
The text of the document about frogs\index{frogs} and other wee jumpy
beasties\index{beasties}.
\printindex
\end{document}
Running frogs.tex I get a frogs.idx file (which has picked up my specifed
\index entries). Goossens' book tells me to then
"...run the Makeindex program by typing the following command
makeindex main.idx %%(obviously I would use frogs.idx)
This produces the file main.ind...you can now rerun LaTeX on the document
and the index will appear."
Other books say similar things. Now I know I'm probably being really dumb
here, but where exactly do I type this command to get my frogs.ind file?
Thanks very much for any help
David
