maybe you mean something like that:
\define[1]\example{\tfx#1\tfa}
brr, when you want to define it in this way you should use grouping, e.g.
\define[1]\example{{\tfx#1}}
a better solution is
\define\example{\groupedcommand{\tfx}{}}
because you can now write
\example{...} and {\example ...}
The best way is to use \definealternativestyle, e.g.
\definealternativestyle [example] [\tfx] [\tfx]
the command takes three arguments because you can set with the third argument a different behaviour in titles etc.
A third way is \definestartstop, e.g.
\definestartstop[example][style=\tfx]
this creates not only the command \example but also a example environment where you get a smaller font.
posting amateur solutions brings always the pro´s on the scene ;-) thanks for your solutions best regards Bernhard
