Many hooks are included in the macros
to allow user personalization
it is felt that the rather common practice
of redefining internal \-ms macros
can be almost completely eliminated
Unlike \-ms and other packages,
\-me follows a rigid and consistant
internal naming convention
with user-defined macros,
The \-me macros are largely compatible with \*R\(dg;
the notable exception is that single and double spacing
