   I am trying to print a line, such as a section heading in TeX, but
I want to control the amount of space afterwards.   For example,

\leftline{Summary of Stuff}
\vspace{2cm}
some text here.

    The effect that I am looking for is that the baseline of the left line, and
the baseline of the first line of text should be 2 cm apart.  Right now, it
appears to be doing something like this.  When it sees \vspace, TeX automatically
ends the leftline as a paragraph, inserts \parskip worth of vertical space, then
puts 2 more cm of space.   I would like a macro like

\sect#1#2

and use it like \sect{Summary of Stuff}{2cm}
where it will place approximate 2 cm of space between the
section heading and the first paragraph.   This will look like

Example:

Summary of Stuff        __________
                           |
                           |   baselines are 2cm + \baselineskip apart
   I am summing up      ___|_______
  
\sect{Summary of Stuff}{0cm} will make the lines \baselineskip apart.

Example:

Summary of Stuff         -----------
                               |  baselines are \baselineskip apart
   I am summing up       ______|____


   I would prefer e-mail responses, but will look out for posted responses.
