[OS X TeX] An error came up

[Juan Manuel Palacios]

	Hello Tom. Sorry for taking the liberty to write to you like this 
but I couldn't keep my hands off the sample code you provided to that 
amazingly beautiful thesis presentation you told us about. I was very 
eager to copy it and compile it to see what it achieves but turned into 
dismay when the console told me there was an error:

! Illegal parameter number in definition of \fmpage.
<to be read again>

l.37 ...x[1.2\width]{\usebox{\fmbox}}\end{center}}

	You think you could please help me fix it so that I can study your 
code and output in order to learn from it?

	Thank you very much in advance for the time. Regards,...


		Juan.
