This version is just a single tool from a larger body of tools I am 
unlikely to implement.  I wrote this in 1999 in response to a request
on \texttt{comp.text.tex}.

\minisec{Instructions:}

The \cmd{\FirstLine} command takes one argument: Some text.

The first line of this text will be formatted according to
\cmd{\FirstLineFont}; but if the text occupies less than a line, all 
that text (and no more) will be affected by \cmd{\FirstLineFont}.  
The argument should be ordinary text, not lists and displayed 
equations. Such things will give you a `Bad text' error.

This command is intended to be used in a replacement for a normal 
sectioning command in a document class; \cmd{\paragraph} would be 
appropriate.  In particular, this \cmd{\paragraph} (or whatever) should 
insert vertical space and penalties etc.,\ and probably \cmd{\noindent}
at the start of the argument.  The document class should also define 
\cmd{\FirstLineFont} appropriately as either a switch or a text-command; 
as in \verb+\renewcommand\FirstLineFont{\MakeUppercase}+.  The defult 
definition performed in \pkg{magaz.sty} is 
\verb+\providecommand\FirstLineFont{\scshape}+.
