I can't get latex to make an index.
\makeindex placed before \begin{document} (I am using
documentstyle{report} builds file.idx
with lines like 

	\indexentry{campus safety officer}{14} 

I sorted this file and made an environment like

	\begin{theindex}
	...
	\indexentry{campus safety officer}{14} 
	...
	\end{theindex}

I gave this sorted (sordid) file a name index.tex
and added as the last include in the main tex file 
	
	\include{index}

I get the following error message:

) [15] (index.tex  
! Undefined control sequence. 
l.3 \indexentry 
	{campus safety officer}{14} 
?


WHATS WRONG HERE?
( I grep'd index re*.sty and found the def for \index but not
one for indexentry. ??? )
Please e-mail if you know whats wrong, THANKS.
