Forgive me for not reading R-ext carefully, but Ross's Rd code is
still "obviously" wrong in the lights of the two-argument \eqn:
(really doesn't differ from the 1-arg interpretaion of \eqn)
\eqn{{\bf\beta}_j}{\bf\beta}_jnormal-bracket5bracket-normal{b(j)}
In other words,
\eqn{...}{...}_...
and the "_" is still outside of any maths environment, which is most
probably not Ross's intention.
