Here is what I need:

I am using the LaTeX command \footnotetext to keep the footnote mark
from being generated in the text and to keep the footnote counter from
being incremented.  When I use this option I don't want a number to
appear in the footnote area either.  The list of nine footnote symbols
available using the \fnsymbol command do not include blank.  I wrote
a tiny style file that tried to change the \@fnsymbol def (from latex.tex)
to a blank but that didn't work.  I also tried to pull a macro called
\thanksu out from another style file and modify it but it did not put
the text at the start of the non-raised portion of the footnote area.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
JAF
