I am sorry for the duplicate post. I was impatient in waiting INFO-TEX to
port the post to comp.text.tex. Here is the question about \parskip:
 
/* NABTEXM@TAMZEUS.BITNET wrote with my editing: */:
\parskip=xmm\parindent=xxpt
%        ^             ^^
 
1st paragraph
\par          % make sure this paragraph is closed before changing
              % \parskip. A \par or vertical glue is sufficient.
 
% This code will not work as it suggests.
% What do you think the vspace here should be ?
% I think the vspace here is x mm, but TeX thinks it y mm.
% any one understand TeX's mind?
 
{\parskip=ymm\parindent=yypt
%         ^             ^^
 
2nd paragraph
}
 
3rd paragraph
