[OS X TeX] outline

[Claus Gerhardt]

Yesterday, when I tested my proposal (with amsart) it worked, but  
after your complaint I retried and got an error message. Sorry for that.

After reading the explanations of the comment.sty package let me  
suggest the following which (again) I tried myself:

Load comment.sty and create new comment environments versiona,  
versionb, ...by defining e.g., versiona

\includecomment{versiona}
%\excludecomment{versiona}

Then

\begin{versiona}
\bp
788mmm 9
\ep
\end{versiona}

   will show the proof and unccommenting \excludecomment{versiona}  
will invoke the comment environment.
