Thanks for the reply, Jean-Marc. As usual, I went back to my files and beat
on them for another 1-2 hours before addressing your note, as I am quite
bull-headed about things like this...
Well, I finally weaseled out the answer to my problem. It has nothing to do
with _anything_ Except the following difference between working/non-working
files:
\begin{chemspecial}
define('bndlen_', 'N') vs. define('bndlen_' , 'N')
\end{chemspecial} ^ causes failure.. !!!
(the left quotes are wrong, but I've never figured out how to get Joe to
print that character)
Is this "for real??" One space Outside of the quote delimiters which I
(think I) threw in for readability??
Is there an FMM (Freq. Made Mistakes :-) around for stuff like this? Or
FMRookieM ??
The package uses m4 to preprocess macros (in which the above definition is
used). Does anyone have any idea whether this seeming idiosyncrasy is a
Latex thing, an m4 thing, or what? The "what" part might include the perl
script the author uses, of course. He is being relayed this.
Sorry about having this thrown out on the list. I guess it's pretty OT, but
I was really quite stumped...

It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he
doesn't really need a college education, for he can learn them from
books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the
learning of many facts but the training of the mind to thinking--something
that cannot be learned from books. Albert Einstein
