Hi:

I apologize for asking such a basic question.  What is the correct way 
to increment a counter such that each time a macro is used, the counter 
is augmented by 1.  So far,  I have \newcount\MyCounter and have tried 
\advance\MyCounter by1 and a few other things I found online,  but 
whenever I try to increase its value by 1, all references to it's value 
return 1.  Not a particularly useful counter ;-) . 

Thanks,

Matt
