Thank you Tom. I followed the link and found therein a further link<http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb02-1/tb02fuchstfm.pdf> to a TUGboat article by David Fuchs entitlted What happens when you say "\font A=CMR10" (note: no slash before "A"). Do you have any idea of which iteration of TeX David was writing, since TeX82 would require "\font \A=CMR10" whilst TeX78 would have required (as David himself notes) "\:A=CMR10". BNB cc'd as she may know the answer.
