Herbert,

  These I understand.

\newcommand{\omrbox}{\makebox[\omrx]{%
define the new command \omrbox
        define a makebox of width \omrx -> 1.6em (reserves space
        for this)
   \psframebox[framearc=.7,framesep=0.55ex]{\rule{0.35em}{0pt}}}}

draw a framebox with arc and a framesep
        put a rule of width 0.35em of height zero in there
        (rule is not seen)

this is a code to get a framebox of specific height and width.

  Why this is done, and done this way, is what I really don't get in this
fragment.

nonsense code to me ...

  There may well be a simpler, cleaner way to produce a form that has a
header (for identification) and a specified number of rows with little ovals
for answers. I'm just not good enough to know that that way is.

Thanks,

Rich
