[help-texinfo] help with texi2dvi

[Stephen Torri]

When I run makeinfo on my texinfo file I get a valid info file. If I
attempt to run texi2dvi then I get stuck in a shell like environment
where the prompt is an asterisk (*). I don't know why texi2dvi, etex or
pdftex fails to create the proper output given my texinfo file. Can
someone point me to documentation that can lead me to a solution?
If it will help I can post the file.
