[OS X TeX] assistance with a problem

[Themis Matsoukas]

Sergei,

it is difficult to understand what you are trying to do with your  
redefinition of the sectional commands and with the counter \new. You  
should explain what it is you're trying to do with these commands. It  
is very possible that you can accomplish the same effect through the  
various commands available in memoir.
