I am trying to redefine \@oddpage and \@evenpage in LaTeX.
However TeX doesn't seem to be accepting my definitions.
The example file below works for the two definitions without
an @, and for the last definition with an @.
\@oddhead and \@evenhead get confused with \@ when I try to 
expand them later.
Could someone please tell my why?

How do I make the others work?

\def\defone{first definition}
\def\@oddhead{right head text}
\def\@evenhead{left head text}
\def\@anotherhead{another head text}
\def\deftwo{seconf definition}

\@oddhead

\@evenhead

\@anotherhead

\defone

\deftwo

\bye
