The topmargin and textheight commands override the defaults found in the tex-set file and indicate that the printed page top margin is to be decreased by 0.25 inch and the printed text height lengthened to 9.25 inch. This change is made so that the printed article would fit on two pages, instead of one or two lines extending to a third page. The remaining four files (abs.tex, intr.tex, proofs.tex, ref.tex) contain the parts of the article indicated in the short explanations following the corresponding % sign. Notice the typical use of \label to label the Lemma so that we can reference it later by \ref. In this case, the file must be compiled a second time to correctly insert the labels.

This labeling and referencing system is very important in constructing long documents where numbers and ordering of different contracts might undergo numerous changes. If one were working on the proofs section, one could put a % sign in front of those parts to be ignored. Alternately,one can research and use \include commands to decrease compilation time when writing the paper, yet retaining correct numbering of constructs like Theorems. The contents of the remaining files are listed below. The ref file contains an example of the use of the bibliography environment with references cited by the \cite command. The alternative here is to produce the list of references using your own construct.
