Dear Phil -- if you really try this, you need an aditional trick to
avoid an error message. This is due to the blank space after your
`#2'. Usually one types `#2{%' instead, and instead of typing the
brace in the line below. `#2%' would do as well. -- The other
percent signs that you have removed are not necessary for proper
working, but they avoid space tokens in the definition of \sk that
just consume memory unnecessarily. -- Regards, Uwe.
