Re: Making checkboxes

[Cecil Westerhof <cldwesterhof@gmail.com>]

I ran it with batchmode and silent, so I did not see errors, but it is
not correct.
I get:
    ! Use of \CheckBoxes doesn't match its definition.
    l.19 \CheckBoxes Y
                      es, No, A little bit

H gives:
    If you say, e.g., `\def\a1{...}', then you must always
    put `1' after `\a', since control sequence names are
    made up of letters only. The macro here has not been
    followed by the required stuff, so I'm ignoring it.

So '\def\CheckBoxes[#1]%' is wrong, but what should it be?
