This paper concerns
constructing the Iwahori-Hecke algebra for certain p-adic groups. It can be regarded
as a natural extension of the ideas laid down in [KL2]; the objective (and conclusion)
of that paper was the proof of Deligne-Langlands conjecture for Hecke algebras
arising from split p-adic groups (with connected centers). The key observation of that
paper was the geometric construction of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra for a split p-adic
group.
