   A question about Commutative Diagrams:

If I amstex a file that has a commutative diagram in it (i.e. uses
the \CD  \endCD construct) amstex seems to ignore the \CD and \endCD.
BUT if I put the command '\input amstex' at the head of the file,
I get the right diagram. Why is this happening? I would assume that
using a .fmt file generated from the amstex.tex file would be equivalent
to inputing the file amstex.tex file directly (only faster).

                 Thanks,
