 <tt>\newtheorem{env_name}{caption}[within]</tt>

<p>
 This command defines a theorem-like environment.
<ul>
<li><TT>env_name</TT> The name of the environment -- a  string  of  letters.
     Must not be the name of an existing environment or counter.
<p>
<li><TT>caption</TT> The text printed at the beginning of  the  environment,
     right before the number.
<p>
<li><TT>within</TT> The name of an already defined  counter,  usually  of  a
     sectional  unit.   Provides  a means of resetting the new theorem
     counter within the sectional unit.
<p>
<li><TT>numbered_like</TT> The  name  of  an  already  defined  theorem-like
     environment.
</ul>

 The <tt>\newtheorem</tt> command may have at most one optional argument.
