_Very_ kind of you!
: I used to be a lot better at TeX; this seems to work but is not elegant
I, too, used to do some (basic) Plain TeX (and eTeX) writing in "the
old days". I resisted LaTeX for a long, long time.
Those days, and that knowledge, are now gone. The font and graphics
capabilities of LaTeX are simply too good, and there seems to be a
".sty" package for just about everything now (except deeply nested lists :-)
Again thanks for the time you spent on this.
