 `I think our site has the AMS TeX symbol fonts and I have a copy of
 `amssymbols.sty from Clarkson, so I should be able to use
 `these fonts in LaTeX documents.  What I don't have are
 `the symbol names, nor do I know which symbols are in the AMS fonts.
 `The amssymbols.sty file gives a reference to an issue of
 `TUGboat.  Now for my naive questions:
 `
 `What is TUGBoat and how would I acquire a copy of the November 85 issue?

TUGBoat is the newsletter of the TeX Users Group. (P.O. Box 594,
Providence, RI 02940, USA; TUG@Math.AMS.com)

 `Alternatively, could somebody send me a LaTeX file which
 `uses amssymbols.sty to load and print the entire set of
 `AMS symbols?

I have a plain TeX file handy that does this. It uses the original
mssymb.tex file rather than amssymbols.sty (which you can make from
amssymbols.sty by deleting the \ifcase\@ptsize ... \fi stuff and
reestablishing the %% lines.
Here it is:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\input mssymb
\def\do#1{\noindent\hbox to 4.5 cm{\tt \string #1 \hfill $#1$}\quad\hfill}
\baselineskip=15 pt plus 1pt

\noindent
The following symbols are available in {\sl math mode}
by using
the command {\tt \string\input ~mssymb}
