Paul,

Will I need to say anything about the integer n? Or even the standard |N?
Or 
can I take their meanings as understood?

I trust it's OK to use, instead, my old c(n,J)....

I wonder if you know any general rules on this that I should adhere to...?
I 
can't work out why, in a different expression, you corrected me to '_over_

[x,y]'.

I got this further issue. Brian set me up with a definition which goes 'We

will find it convenient to define auxilliary functions in the following
way: 
given (g,n) in G there is a unique (s,r) in G', such that h(g,n)=(s,r),
and 
we set h_1(g,n)=s and h_2(g,n)=r'. Can I take this to be a definition that

holds in my reference to s and r subsequently, or do I have to go through 
the process of saying what they are every time I make a reference to them?

If so, what about my later use of r to denote memebrs of R? More to the 
point, if I define j(x,y,t) to denote a specific thing, can I casually
say, 
later on, "take any integers i and j", without any reference to j(x,y,t) 
being meant?

With many thanks.
