I am writing mathematics, hence have theorems, lemmas etc.
I can use \newtheorem in the usual way to get my things labelled
appropriately with Theorem 6.2 and Lemma 4.5 etc.
However I do not like having all the theorems typeset in italics. I
would like to change the "theorem-like environment" so that the theorems
are typeset in slanted type.
The LaTeX book does not mention at all how to do it, or in fact where
the "theorem-like environment" is defined....


I would be grateful if anyone could help.

Thanks

Gordon
