    Why not use <LINE>(INDENT\n)
    
     where n is the number 1, 2, or 3?
625.2<line> works with qualificationsCOOKIE::JOHNSTONThu Jul 09 1987 18:0711
Paragraph indentation is determined by the doctype; to make 
it automatic you must modify the .DESIGN file or, preferably, create a new
one.

<line>(indent\number) will work, but it must either follow the paragraph tag
or be preceded by another <line>; otherwise you won't get the blank
space between paragraphs.

    <line>(indent) indents the entire paragraph, not just the first
    line. You need to modify the \paragraph definition (as Rose suggests)
    in a DESIGN file. You might look at the paragraph definition in
    TEX$ARTICLE.DESIGN as a model.
