Howdy,

I throught that Will's macros use the bullet character as a marker  
(so they can be ``found'' using some macros put together a while  
ago). I never understood why things you quoted in your inclusions had  
substituted the ``closed apple'' character for the bullet. Is there  
something in your setup that is changing the encoding of the  
characters? What is your default file encoding in TeXShop?

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
