I plonked down a simple eqnarray and then in one of the elements I need a
multiline array, so incremented the depth (without incrementing the depth it
turns the entire array into a multline) and inserted a multline, type in
1+2+3+4+5 over two lines,  I then "terminate" the multline by decrementing
the depth. Here's what I have on the screen:

     [] [] x+y+z

     [] [] 1+2+3
            4+5+6
(the multline is the 3rd element in the second row. The two boxes are of
course centered wrt to it as they should)

It all appears to be OK until I try previewing it and I get a bunch of Latex
error messages, most of which are over my head. I thought I'd post a couple
of them here in case anyone can help me debug what's going on

Here's one:
You can't use `macro parameter character #' in math mode.
 }
      \end{eqnarray*}
Sorry, but I'm not programmed to handle this case;
I'll just pretend that you didn't ask for it.
If you're in the wrong mode, you might be able to
return to the right one by typing `I}' or `I$' or `I\par'.

Here's another:
You can't use `\halign' in math mode.
 }
      \end{eqnarray*}
<same apology as above>

And one more:
Missing } inserted.
 }
      \end{eqnarray*}
I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.
(See the <inserted text> above.)
With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.

Any help would be appreciated!

thanks
