      I think that amsguide.* is a reference for AMS-TeX; we want 
AMS-LaTeX.  I have not figured out where (if anywhere) the latex docs 
are put by Red Hat, but on my CTAN CD I found
/mnt/cdrom/macros/latex/required/amslatex/math/amsldoc.tex
which looks like the right documentation.  If you have "A Guide to 
LaTeX" (Kopka and Daly) then you can also look in Appendix E.

      And yes, I think the issue is environments, etc, not changes in 
math mode (although there are a few of those, such as \text{}).
