[OS X TeX] No indentation of first paragraph in new environment

[Nathan Paxton]

	So in the original class file code, would that go right before the  
"Acknowledgements" (line 9, starting at \newenvironment)?

-N

% ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
%
% The acknowledgements environment puts a large, bold, centered
% "Acknowledgements" label at the top of the page.

\newenvironment{acknowledgments}
{
  \newpage
  \thispagestyle{plain}
	\@mkboth{\acknowledgename}{\acknowledgename}
  \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Acknowledgments}
%  \vspace*{-.8in} % NAP comment out May 2008
  {\centerline{\bf {\LARGE Acknowledgments}}}
  \vspace*{.2in}
}
