     Hi John,
     
     Need failing code please, the basic idea certainly works for me.  There
     is nothing special about commas in an example environment, or anywhere
     except when parsing arguments.
     

This code, for example fails to display a comma:

\input texinfo
@setfilename foo.info
@settitle GNU Foo
@comment %**end of header


@node A Little Example
@chapter A Little Example

Here it is

@example
 This line, contains a comma

 But the comma doesn't appear in the dvi 
@end example



@bye




$ texi2dvi --version
texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 4.13) 1.135

I do see whitespace where the comma ought to be.  Maybe this is a problem with 
my TeX installation.  I don't know.

J'
