In the macro define/append requests .de, .am "input lines are copied in copy mode until the definition is terminated with a line beginning with '.yy', whereupon the macro 'yy' is called." NOTE the following bad things: Do not create macros of the form- .de XX . (x \\$1 \\$2 . )x ^ Note the tabs after the periods. The index macro .(x is looking for a "close" of the form .)x, and instead it sees ".<tab>)x", and fails to "close". Needless to say, this will cause problems, as the rest of your text is gobbled up by the index entry. Patrick ("Would you believe this?") Powell
