Thanks for that Alan.
I am looking at memman.pdf right now, and am printing it out the relevant

Hi
I'm using latex to (re-)produce a technical manual which is typeset in a
compact format,
and I wish to keep close to the original formatting.

Are you using the Book class or the Article class in the begindocument?
One can define your own command for this
\newcommand{\mychap}[1]{%
Chapter \thechapter
\vspace{-2mm}

There seems to be plenty of help available for fancy chapter
styles.
What I want is so simple that I haven't been able to find it by
googling. The essential difficulty is that the chapter name and
number are to be on the left, while the chapter title is to be
centered.
Any ideas? Or

Looking back at your original example, Latex is assuming you are using
a portrait page, which isn't wide enough to get all that stuff in.
Thus Latex then just shoves the boxes ontop of each other.
a good idea, but sadly not the case - my real .tex is

First amendment:
@ and @ do *not* produce arrows that extend
automatically to accommodate unusually wide subscripts
and superscripts, page 226 of TLC notwithstanding.
I have a feeling that I've seen this before, although
long ago and far away.
Can anyone help, please?
