In article <1711@uhccux.UUCP>, I asked:
" When superscripts or subscripts appear in ordinary text, it would
" be nice if they were bold-faced in the context {\bf ...}.  But
" the handling of superscripting and subscripting seems to be done
" by TeX primitives, so I don't see how to arrange for this.  Does
" anyone know a way?

Several people made very helpful suggestions.  Thanks.  Inasmuch as
I do not need to make math formulas into superscripts or subscripts,
the most straightforward solution appears to be:

	\def\bf{\fam\bffam\scriptfont0=\sevenbf \tenbf}
