Hi,
You should get a lot further if you stick with LaTeX commands
(as opposed to plain TeX) ... use \newcommand instead of \def
and \mathcal instead of \cal:
Try:
\newcommand{\oos}{$\mathcal{O}(\alpha \alpha_s^2)$}
... and ensure the definition is in the document preamble
(i.e. between \documentclass... and \begin{document}).
Hope that helps.
