Hey John,

Thank for your help.
Here is my situation:

I put plain.bst into .TeXmacs/system/bib directory. After updating the 
bibliography, I find some of their titles italicized, but some not.

I don't know why is that, what's more, I don't know what's corresponding .bib 
file for plain.bst.
Thank you again.
