The above "newcommand" should read as (no "#" to indicate no. of
arguments):
\newcommand{\cubroot}[1]{\sqrt[3]{#1}}
I tried it and it works. Interestingly, the above shows
adequately in the PostScript viewer, but not in xvdi one ...
where only the usual sqrt symbols appears without the number "3".
Cheers
