Parameters
**********

   The input file specification indicates the file to be formatted; TeX
uses `.tex' as a default file extension.  If you omit the input file
entirely, TeX accepts input from the terminal.  You specify command
options by supplying a string as a parameter to the command; e.g.

   `latex ``\scrollmode\input foo.tex'''

   will process `foo.tex' without pausing after every error.

   Output files are always created in the current directory. When you
fail to specify an input file name, TeX bases the output names on the
file specification associated with the logical name TEX_OUTPUT,
typically `texput.log'.
