You can also do this from the command line.  First, when you run the tcl script 
to generate the html pages include the argument "-doall". This puts all of the 
html files in one big file. The filename is specified with:
-allfilename <the file name>

Now, in the processed directory run htmldoc with:
htmldoc -f <all filename>.pdf --book --footer "./." --header ".t." 
--headfootsize 16  <all filename>.html
