Attached. Log message should probably include something to the effect of "make .bl work inside blocks" or so. By the way, I've also figured out why the centering of wide blocks in the "me" macros does not work correctly: the macros change the line width to 6.0 inches, but the indent for blocks is computed in environment 1 which retains the default line width of 6.5 inches. Thus, blocks get formatted to a width of 6 inches but are printed with an indent of .25 inches and thus stick out at the right. (I had originally thought that the indent was intentional (and we should therefore reduce the line width), but this appears not to be the case.)
