OK.  I hadn't checked my version -- it is/was 2.14 .  Somewhere between 2.14 and
2.16.1 things like "\vspace" and other syntax/commands were added...

Since it's developing so fast, it might be a good idea to mention versions to a
newbie.  Ubuntu still has nothing newer than 2.14 in its repositories.

Anyhow, I'm trying the most stable now -- 2.16.1 ; let me see how far I can get
with 2.16.1 on my own.
