I want to that those who responded to my question above.  I am
obliged to:

	Peter Smith		pds@ms.secs.csun.edu
	Dick Dunn		rcd@ico.isc.com
	Bruce Lilly		blilly!bruce@broadcast.sony.com
	Carsten Olesen		cqo@nro.cs.athabascau.ca
	Dee Irwin		eci@sparky.acc.virginia.edu
	Henry McGilton		henry@eng.sun.com
	Nils-Peter Nelson	npn@cbnewsl.att.com
	Liam R. E. Quin		lee@sq.com

Most of the responses included actual examples.  Some were plugs
for books (which did not detract from the response).  The books
mentioned were:

	_An Introduction to Text Processing_, Peter Smith, MIT, 1990

	_Typesetting Tables on the Unix System_, McNabb & McGilton,
	Trilithon Press

My mentioning the books does not constitute a recommendation of
them.

Since most of the responses were by e-mail, I wanted to briefly 
summarize what I learned:

	*  run eqn *before* tbl

	*  don't forget the delim() commands in the tbl section

	*  don't use '#' as an eqn delimiter

	*  don't use '$' as an eqn delimiter if you're using
	   troff macros with '$'s in them

Here's a brief example:

	.EQ
	delim $$
	.EN

	.TS
	box, center, tab(@), delim($$);
	l l .
	.
	.
	.
	.TE

Note that delim defined for eqn first.  Note also the "delim($$)"
defined for tbl (that was *my* mistake).

Again, thanks for your responses!

Bruce
