I apologize for my reply going astray. Too much hurry and not enough attention.
I saw that \newcommand had limitations of a peculiar sort, that it was a mess, but I found it useful. Did I do wrong to encourage them? You don't have to tell me that LaTeX is a mess. Part of it is that Knouth and Lamport know a lot about typography but not nearly enough. I don't believe that the mess was the result of users trying to cut down on typing, I just don't. I have a way of passing values now, fairly easily. How are you hurt? ------------------------------------------------------------ Information is not knowledge. Belief is not truth.
