Thanks, Tadziu. I had to study your example to understand it. It looks very robust because, except for TS/TE, it leaves the ms macros out of the equation. I like to think I can float along atop -ms, and not punch through to troff except when no -ms mechanism exists, such as local motion. Your example demonstrates that when I start doing something -ms isn't really set up for, it's better to drop into straight troff until the document resumes its stately -ms pace. --jkl
