Dear gang,

Consider a control sequence \MyCS. It has three possible definitions:

\def\MyCS{<def1>}, \def\MyCS{<def2>}, \def\MyCS{<def3>}

What I would like is to define \MyCS once such that

<def1> takes effect when \tf is invoked
<def2> takes effect when \it is invoked
<def3> takes effect when \bf is invoked

something like (incorrect syntax but you'll get the point)

\def\MyCS{%
\if\it<def1>
\else
\if\bf<def2>
\else
<def3>}

How can I do this> Any tips greatly appreciated!

Happy Holidays!
Idris
