[texhax] Latex question

[Mel Janowitz]

Dear William:

   Coffee did not help me any. Thanks for the explanation. What was
bugging me was that the aux file kept telling me the labels were created,
but I did not seem to be able to correctly access them. I am guessing the
same issues apply to Tables. I am in the process of writing a book, and I
really needed to figure out the label issue.

Mel J
