Updating this to, I hope, clarify my request.  I see that to convert to
LaTeX is a chore, and don't know whether the file would be amenable to
tweaks, like using the chappg LaTeX package.

Texinfo is a black box for me.  I am guessing that the best way to do this
is to convert the Texinfo source into LaTeX.

 The numbering scheme I am proposing would be at a highest section, or
chapter, level:

A-1; C-26 , etc.

OR

1.1
4.5
etc.

Then if one had the manual as hardcopy, in a binder, he could print out the
chapter in question, and the TOC.  Maybe some manner of dictionary
