I am flabbergasted with this macro I am setting up. I must miss
something from reading the documentation.
It is a part of a macro that is much longer, only a conditional
partially printing of a header, indexing on a parameter and
color-formatting - just the nice things to do in a macro - , but this
misbehaves on the typesetting of the main event of the macro.
The output is one page long, there are a number of underfull
verticals, which are resolved in the final version with all bells and
whistles.
I hope someone can help me with this strange behaviour.
Thanks,

P.S. Please reply to the channel, I do not like it when someone finds
only the question but not the answer.
Well, I did not find out what went wrong, but changing the call to
lettrine with a default parameter did the trick I was looking for:
\newcommand{\BLAPRNT}[3][4]{\lettrine[lines=#1]{#2}{}#3} in the preamble;
\blaprint{I}{\blatext} in the main body or
\blaprint[2]{I}{\blatext} to change the default number of used lines to
2 or the used parameter.
It took me a week to dig through google to get the result I wanted. And
also I sometime have to remind that LaTeX sometimes forgets that the
\parshape should be 0 as it sometimes keeps holding the lettrine space
in memory.
Thanks.
