Apologies for responding to myself, but I realized after writing the
message below that if I use sed to remove the lines with the word
"label" and all of the empty brackets (i.e., =[]= and ={}= ) in the tex
file, then I'm very, very close to what I need. I assume I could write a
function and then call it in the publishing routine?

Hi, Robert --
Thanks very much for your work on this. I'm now *much* closer than I
was. However, I'm not there yet.
Here's a snippet of the tex file that I need:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\begin{questions}
\question
A paragraph here describes this section and tells students how many
terms to
identify.
\begin{parts}
\part
term 1
\vspace*{\fill}
\part
term 2
\vspace*{\fill}
\part
term 3
\vspace*{\fill}

\end{parts}
\end{questions}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
However, if I use the org-latex-class definition that you suggested,
this is what I get:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\begin[]{questions}{}
\label{sec-1}
\question[]{}
\label{sec-1-1}
A paragraph here describes this section and tells students how many
terms to

The additional lines in the tex file add numbers and oddly formatted
text to the pdf. The numbering scheme is also off -- these lines in
the class definition:
\renewcommand\thequestion{\Roman{question}}
\renewcommand\thepartno{\arabic{partno}}
\renewcommand\partlabel{\thepartno.}
are supposed to have to have the question-level headings numbered
with Roman numerals and the part-level headings numbered with Arabic
numbers. But for some reason that numbering scheme isn't imposed.
Perhaps I need either just to write in latex or to work with what
Rasmus is suggesting; I've not had time yet to digest his
suggestions.
I'm floating on the edge of my knowledge here....
Thanks again.
