% This package defines a "\newproof" command similar to "\newtheorem".
% Its arguments are
%     #1  Name of proof environment, eg, "proof".
%     #2  Starting text, eg, Proof.
%     #3  Finishing text, eg, [] flushed right.
%
% The package goes on to define a "proof" environment with exactly the
% above setup, but other unnumbered environments can be set up in the
% same way.
%
% The created environments take one optional argument, which, if present,
% goes in brackets after #2.   Eg,
%
% \begin{proof}
%   A proof.
% \end{proof}
%
% \begin{proof}[B. L. User]
%   A named proof.
% \end{proof}
%
% \begin{proof}[of Theorem \ref{thm}]
%   Yet another.
% \end{proof}
%
% Command "\qed" is set up to flush "\qedtext" right; "\qedtext" defaults
% to a square, but can be re-defined as "QED" or whatever.
