The names \dots and $\ldots$ are defined in plain TeX, whereas \ldots (without $ $) is a latex specific command. (\cdots (centered dots) do not really make sense in text mode, so the 'l' for "line" dots isn't neccessary, and therefore DK must have desided that only \dots is available). Regards, Tobias
