Thanks for the info. I am using \define for something simple, define
some keywords with special format that I will be repeating a lot.
Something like:

\define\mybi{\bf\sl BoldItalic}

Works fin except that if I use in a sentence like: This is \mybi word.
It wil be typeset without any space between BoldItalic and word, like
this: This is my BoldItalicword.

Any ideas on how to overcome this?

Thanks,
Pepe
