[Mac OS X TeX] Macro Question

[Ross Moore]

The macro that I've defined here does not reside within an environment, 
but is rather a stand-alone macro:

\def\linespacing\#1{\baselineskip=#1\normalbaselineskip}
                ^
what is this \ for ?
# by itself is a macro-parameter, \# is not.


Hope this helps ?
