     Silly me, I didn't realize that those parameter numbers were
supposed to be limited to a single digit.  I whipped up a little
test program using a macro with 20 parameters (\1 through \20) and
it works just fine.  You should be limited only by available memory.
Go nuts!

     I never could figure out how to impose arbitrary restrictions... :-)
