​Your new Texinfo.tex resolved that problem.  Thanks very much.

A
​n unrelated issue I found is if you run the file I sent and look in the
Key Index, you'll see some keys are surrounded by braces and some are not.
This is because when using an @ktable and @kitem macro​, the braces are
added to the auto-generated index item in addition to the item itself,
whereas in other places where we do the kindex manually, we don't add the
braces.  I think the index reads a bit better without the braces, so it
would be nice if the braces were added only to the table item and not its
index entry.  I found a workaround for this by using @table @asis and then
making the @kitem macro itself add both the @kindex and @item entries where
the brace surrounding macro is only part of the @item.  This of course
defeats the purpose of having the @ktable in the first place, for me, but
is no more work to implement.  And I guess some people might want the
braces in the index for consistency.

In summary, I am able to do everything I need to do right now and just need
to keep aware of these small formatting issues when doing my markup.

Thanks again.

Bob
