Hi-

Many thanks to everybody who sent help.  Here is a summary of
what they said:

1.  Use the following line either before or after the \begin{document}
    line:

    \renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}}

    or

    \def\thefootnote{\fnsymbol{footnote}}

    in the preamble.

2.  Georgios Dimitriadis at the Univ of Crete-Heraklion said that you
    can use your own sequence of symbols by defining

    \def\mysumbols#1{\@mysumbols{\@nameuse{c@#1}}}
    \def\@mysymbols#1{\ifcase#1\or a\or b\or c\or d\else\@ctrerr\fi}

    Then you can say

    \def\thefootnote{\mysymbols{footnote}}

    where in the above case 'mysymbols' are a,b,c and d but you can
    insert whatever you like.


There were several others, but I stopped when the \renewcommand in
number 1 above worked.

Stefan Gerberding's posting also looked good and I'm going to try it.

Thanks again for the help.
