Hi Wolfgang,

You do seem to understand what I am getting at!

I purposely put "paragraph" in quotes. because the environment that I have suggest was
one that had setups for bodyfont, color, indenting etc. and one can just like the headers
have control over them.

Furthermore, you have stated on the on the 30th:

Thank you anyway. I will look into creating what I need on my own. I already have an idea.
Just need to figure out the implementation.

regards
	Keith
