Scott,
A big thank you for latex2e.vdf.
Now I would like to construct an amslatex.vdf file.
First, I would like to try a strategy, similar to the on used to construct the larex2e.vdf file.
In other words, look for an amslatex manual in the Miktex 2.9 documentation. I found two files which are good candidates.
My problem is that they are in .pdf format. So, my question is, can you extract latex commands from a .pdf file ?
