No, its me that does the typing.  She did the layout by hand and wants
it to stay the same.

I'm in Etch and don't see a texlive-humanities package, but I do see the
verse environment in texlive-latex-extra.  I just read the doc and it at
least gives a clue on how to do it manually with inserting space for the
indent: a little tedious and I'll see if it can be improved.

I wonder why I can't find that verse.pdf file with texdoctk?  It doesn't
even show if I click on search and enter verse.

Thanks for the pointer.

Doug.
