Hello,
I'm preparing a simple template for exam tests. I have following commad.
\question{3}{text text text}
where firtst parametr stands for points.
I'd like to compute the sum of points to be used as Total points: xx
What is the correct approach to do that if I'm using MKII?
greetings Jan

This is what I would do (but I suspect Wolfgang can come up
with something cleaner):
\def\startquestions
{\newcount\totalpoints}
\def\stopquestions
