Here's an easy way to indent after sections. There may be an update--look
for posts from George Greenwade for info on the mail server fileserv@shsu.edu.

% Document style option indsec. From TeXhax v88, n75.
% Usage:  \documentstyle[...,indsec,...]{anystyle}
% last update:  6 April 1988 - GDG
% This style option produces an indented paragraph following section heads.
% Redefine @startsection to always get indentation after section headings.
% NOTE:  Use \noindent to over-ride automatic indentation, if desired.
\def\@startsection#1#2#3#4#5#6{\if@noskipsec \leavevmode \fi
   \par \@tempskipa #4\relax
   \@afterindenttrue
   \ifdim \@tempskipa <\z@ \@tempskipa -\@tempskipa \relax\fi
   \if@nobreak \everypar{}\else
     \addpenalty{\@secpenalty}\addvspace{\@tempskipa}\fi \@ifstar
     {\@ssect{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}}{\@dblarg{\@sect{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}}}}
