Thanks!

"see @pxref" is wrong, because @pxref already generates "See" in the
printed version.  Simply @pxref is what you need here (and in one more
place).

If you want quoted text in the output, use ``text'' in Texinfo.
Makeinfo replaces the two quotes by a double quote, but TeX produces
much more pleasant output from ``text'' than from "text".

I fixed these problems.
