Block quotes (using the quotation command?):
i want them to be fully justified, without a first line indent, and
without quotes around them (which despite what the manual says, is not
standard in english AFAIK). Also, I want the text that follows a block
quote to not be indented (since in essence a block quote is
general--though not always--within a larger paragraph).
How do I set this up? The manual has examples of using different quote
punctuation, for example, but not none...

I use variations of \startnarrower...\stopnarrower for block quotations.
I don't know that I am missing anything by not using the built-in
quotation facilities.

This is what I want; thanks. So do you define something like a
"BlockQuote" command to use with \startnarrower....\stopnarrower?
Just seems like some of this ought to be in "quotation." Using
"narrower" doesn't seem ideal conceptually...

So far I've just used the commands directly, but I should define my own
block, using \definestartstop, I presume. My standard block quotations
are indented on the left and ragged right. I have thought of reducing
the interline space just slightly because the narrow measure needs less
leading, but that would ruin the "backing up" of the lines on
double-sided pages.
I recall being a bit confused by the setup and use of \startnarrower and
provided some examples toward the end of my page:
