+ usage=Usage: texi2dvi [OPTION]... FILE...

Run each Texinfo or LaTeX FILE through TeX in turn until all
cross-references are resolved, building all indices.  The directory
containing each FILE is searched for included files.  The suffix of FILE
is used to determine its language (LaTeX or Texinfo).

Makeinfo is used to perform Texinfo macro expansion before running TeX
when needed.

Options:
  -@                   Use @input instead of \input; for preloaded Texinfo.
  -b, --batch          No interaction.
  -c, --clean          Remove all auxiliary files.
  -D, --debug          Turn on shell debugging (set -x).
  -e, --expand         Force macro expansion using makeinfo.
  -I DIR               Search DIR for Texinfo files.
  -h, --help           Display this help and exit successfully.
  -l, --language=LANG  Specify the LANG of FILE: LaTeX or Texinfo.
  -p, --pdf            Use pdftex or pdflatex for processing.
  -q, --quiet          No output unless errors (implies --batch).
  -s, --silent         Same as --quiet.
  -t, --texinfo=CMD    Insert CMD after @setfilename in copy of input file.
                       Multiple values accumulate.
  -v, --version        Display version information and exit successfully.
  -V, --verbose        Report on what is done.

The values of the BIBTEX, LATEX (or PDFLATEX), MAKEINDEX, MAKEINFO,
TEX (or PDFTEX), and TEXINDEX environment variables are used to run
those commands, if they are set.

So, you type "texi2dvi foobar.texi", hit RET, and it just hangs there, is 
that right?

If so, could you try to find out what command hangs?  texi2dvi is a shell 
script, so by editing it you can find that out quite easily.  For example, 
adding "set -x" at the beginning will print each command it runs.

Bug reports are always welcome.  Thanks for reporting this.
