Thanks a lot, now it's working indeed! There's just one minor problem left:
For foo.texi, texi2html creates an entry file named foo_frame.html and this
file references foo.html for the main frame in this line:

<frame name="main" src="foo.html">

foo.html, however, is not created by texi2html so opening foo_frame.html
in a browser leads to a 404 error in the right frame.

Also, another question: Is there a way to get rid of the footer that says:
This document was generated by U-MACHINAE\Andreas on December 27, 2011 using 
texi2html 1.82.

It is appended to the end of every document automatically but I'd prefer to
leave this out.... no offense meant of course :)
