Trouble with leaving out \flushleft is the entire warning becomes centered
like the label. What I really need is the equivalent of \noraggedright.
The only reason I didn't use a quote environment is I was unable to adjust
the margins with any style but list. Sounds strange, but my
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\scratchLength} and
\setlength{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin} wouldn't work in anything but list. I
just tried it on your code using the quote environment, and once again I
couldn't control the margins with \setlength{\leftmargin} et. al. Also,
unless I inserted the \flushleft the whole thing was centered, and when I
inserted \flushleft the right became ragged.
The plot thickens :-)
I really want to thank you for all this help. Because of all the help from
you and the others, I was able to construct Story, Tip, Warning, BigCallout
(with no title). They aren't perfect yet but they're enough that yesterday I
was able to write the first few pages of my book.
