%   &gt;&gt; Just have a look at the few lines in indentfirst.sty...

%
%As you noticed later on in private e-mail to me David, I said ``the
%few lines'' and not ``the first few lines'', but it doesn't mind. :-)
%
%   But these are not suitable for indenting specific after-section-header
%   paragraphs, which was the original question. Especially the line
%   \let\@afterindentfalse\@afterindenttrue is difficult to undo.
%
%   Probably an \@afterindenttrue at the appropriate point will have only
%   effect on the next paragraph.
%
%Ok, so try this:
\let\standardlatex\@afterindentfalse
\let\frenchlatex\@afterindenttrue
%
%And then:
\def\notindenting{\let\@afterindentfalse\standardlatex}
\def\indenting{\let\@afterindentfalse\frenchlatex}
%
%Then, when you want first paragraphs to be indented, call \indenting,
%and when you don't want them to be indented, call \notindenting. Easy,
%isn't it?
%
%Just put those 4 lines in a file indentondemand.sty and you will
%create a package at least as interesting as indentfirst is :-) And
%indentfirst IS vital for french documents which require first
%paragraphs to be indented...
%
%So the given line is not so difficult to undo, and you knew it :-)
%
%Regards,
%	Benjamin.
