	Yes, I'm looking to get switched over to BibTeX, but at the
moment when I am converting files which already have the reference
list typed in, I'll stick with this. It's actually fairly ``logical''
layout, since whether a reference is embedded, referring to a
sentence, or referring to a whole paragraph is a logical question. The
weirdest thing is having to put the punctuation in the macro, in case
a sentence ends in a punctuation mark othert than `.'

	I'll try this. Fingers crossed.

	I reckon that if I try that, the fake dos in Win95 will say
something rude back.  Anyway, now that I know that there is a endnote
package to look for, I'll look for it. Thanks.
