Quick addenda. I attempted to read the code in page-mar.tex and tried
\def\inRightParCount{% \inrightedge{\vi\bf\the\parCount} \global\advance\parCount by 1 } instead of \def\inRightParCount{% \inright{\vi\hfill\bf\the\parCount} \global\advance\parCount by 1 } and the former worked just fine - the font got smaller in the right margin and the text was aligned to the right. Although the original problem appears to be solved, still, I would greatly appreciate if someone explained to me why \inright does not seem to pay any attention to \vi whereas \inrightedge does. Thank you!
