Thank you Darren. The first version works perfectly to give what I expect to see for endnotes. The only addition I made was to add "\wide" before and "\endwide" after "\printpagenotes*". That allowed the endnotes to use the full width of text+notemargin.
Incidentally, why the asterisk? With or without the asterisk, the notes get printed with their numbers. (and they won't appear in a T.O.C.). Thanks again -- you have been a great help.
