I seem to be unable to use \begin{slide} and\end{slide} from
a \newenvironment or a \newcommand when using powersem with the
display option. More specifically something like:
\documentclass[display]{powersem}
\newenvironment{myslide} {\begin{slide}} {\end{slide}}
\begin{document}
\begin{myslide}
hello there
\end{myslide}
\end{document}
simply produces no output. Removing the `display' option or using `slide'
rather than `myslide' results in the expected single-page dvi file.
The same problem seems to happen with newcommand:
\documentclass[display]{powersem}
\newcommand\foo{\end{slide}\begin{slide}}
\begin{document}
\begin{slide}
hello \foo there
\end{slide}
\end{document}
only outputs a single page (which says "hello").
Any idea what might be going on ?
This is with the latest texpower.zip downloaded a couple hours ago
and a non-bleeding-edge teTeX install (1.0.6 from RedHat).
I append LaTeX's output for the first example.
