When I use AUCTeX's texinfo mode I can click on the DVI and it
will open an emacs window with the source buffer positioned at
the correct location. What I would like to get working is the
the reverse, i.e., the ability to stay in my Emacs source buffer
and execute an Emacs command that causes the DVI to move to the
location corresponding to the point in the source buffer.
Do you have that working? If so, please send exact commands.

Here's what I tried but this fails with AucTeX texinfo mode (works
fine with LaTeX and TeX modes, though):

;; KDVI compatibility for reverse search 20060529
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/elisp/"))
(require 'kdvi-search)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook (lambda () (local-set-key "\C-x\C-j" 
'kdvi-jump-to-line)))
(add-hook 'tex-mode-hook (lambda () (local-set-key "\C-x\C-j" 
'kdvi-jump-to-line)))
(add-hook 'texinfo-mode-hook (lambda () (local-set-key "\C-x\C-j" 
'kdvi-jump-to-line)))
