Thanks for the the hint. I have couple of questions related to the above:

#1 Is it possible to hide a page number for a page?

#2 How can I force the "Preface" chapter inside the table of contents
to use Roman numerals. It is starting with "1" in the following code
snippet:

=== CODE ===

...

@verbatim
This is the contents of the dedication page @c Page # iii OK
@end verbatim

@tex
\global\pageno = -3
@end tex

@shortcontents    @c Page # v OK

@tex
\global\pageno = -7
@end tex

@contents           @c Page #vii OK

@tex
\global\pageno = -13  @c No effect!
@end tex

@include preface/preface.texi @c Starting with page # 1 instead of Roman

@tex
\global\pageno = 1
@end tex

@c Start of chapters

...

=== END ===

Thanks!

SK
