Julian: Thanks for the suggestion. I did post to that newsgroup and I got a couple of tips. But, there still seems to be something that's not quite right, perhaps it has something to do with tetex. What I'm trying to do is create a style for statistical documents. I have looked around, but it appears that such a beast does not exist. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But, here's what I'm doing. Everything seems to work fine except my re-definition of \b.
