Maybe I was unclear, I just want to be able to recall a certain style for
certain rows : the position of the rows is not regular, as in my case,
it's for emphasis for each new letter (A,B,C, etc.) of glossary terms.

As this def is rather long, i just wanted to make a more readable code. So
I tried to put
[nc=2,background=color,backgroundcolor=screen,style=\bf,frame=off,align={right,lohi}]

in \def\Rowa#1{[nc=2,..]{#1}}

and call this def on new letter row by

%\bTR  \bTD [command=\Rowa] B \eTD \eTR % NOT WORKING
\bTR  \bTD[nc=2,background=color,backgroundcolor=screen,
        style=\bf,frame=off,align={right,lohi}command=\Rowa]B \eTD \eTR
\bTR  \bTD barre \eTD \bTD \'Element de structure .. \eTD \eTR 
\bTR  \bTD barre comprimée \eTD \bTD \'Eleme .. \eTD \eTR 
\bTR  \bTD [nc=2,background=color,backgroundcolor=screen,
        style=\bf,frame=off,align={right,lohi}command=\Rowa]C \eTD \eTR 
\bTR \bTD [command=\Rowa] C \eTD \eTR % NOT WORKING
\bTR  \bTD c.. \eTD \bTD ... \eTD \eTR

This is obviousluy a minor request, since i've already copied this def on
each row manually.

Thanks again
