Thanks for this suggestion, which on paper looks to be what I need. But
as a complete newby I am stumped at how to install. I have no idea what
steps 1,2,4 and 7 mean! Can you help? Or point me at an explanation?
TIA.

Installation:
-------------

1- execute latex on exercise.ins 

2- execute latex on exercise.dtx 

3- produce Index and Change History with

   makeindex -s gind.ist -o exercise.ind exercise.idx
   makeindex -s gglo.ist -o exercise.gls exercise.glo

4- and then execute latex on exercise.dtx (again !)

5- copy exercise.sty and exercise.pdf to the correct places in the texmf
tree. exercise.sty could be put in

  $LOCALTEXMF\tex\latex\exercise

6 exercise.pdf is the documentation of the package: it could take place
in

  $TEXMF\doc\latex\exercise

7 - run texhash or the corresponding command of your distribution
