OK. Have resubscribed so should be good from now on.

You said

So that I did was

        .dsAAATset-new-ev \\n[ds*div-ll]
        .nr ds*div-ll \\n[ds*old-ll]
        .if \\n[ds*format]=1 .nr ds*div-ll -\\n(Sin

where AAAT was the

        @

symbol.

I reran it and

a)      It shot the hell out of my first a 'DS 2' and made it a 'DS 0'

b)      The First DS 1 with an equation still was off to the right

c)      The second DS 1 with an equation was slightly in from the right
        margin.

So, almost.
