Oh. I understand now.

For some reason I thought that the page break was contained in the makechapterhead code, and was trying to find out what \z@ meant. (btw. what does it mean?)

Hey everyone.

Thanks for all the help.
So I've spent a day fiddling with titlesec, and still can't get it to work at all.

Stefan_K, you suggested temporarily disabling \chapter*. It sounds like that might ...
