Thanks for the help. The polyglossia manual recommends using the environment
for long passages, and I wasn't sure what difference it made, whether mostly
just "elegance", or a more technical issue. The example you gave works for me,
so it seems that the only issue is the {greek} environment commands, but
Enrico's post helped there, so I can still use both options.
Thanks again,
Daron
