assignment package

I am using the assignment package on MikTeX for a maths assignment, and the questions are kind of long. However in situations like the following:

\begin{problem}
Let $Y=\frac{2}{\theta}X^{2}.$ Then $X=\sqrt{\frac{\theta}{2}Y}$\\
And $\frac{dX}{dY}=\sqrt{\frac{\theta}{2}}\t
imes \frac{1}{2\sqrt{Y}}=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\fr
ac{\theta}{2Y}}$

the part "And..." has a different indent to the opening Let statement. This looks vey ugly! Is there anything I can do to get rid of it?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,

Where did you get the problem environment? If you defined it yourself,
simply redefine it to make every line the same indent.

More? or less? or none at all? "Different" is not enough information.

Please give some information. LaTeX doesn't provide a "problem"
environment. Tell what package you used or how you defined it.

The problem environment comes from the assignment package available on CTAN.
[color=darkred]

My fault there. Less indent. I think it just treats it like a conventional paragraph, so the first 'paragraph' is indented (couldn't tell you by how much), but all the rest aren't. I guess this isn't so unusual after all.
[color=darkred]

Like I said, it was in the assignment package available on CTAN. If I wanted to get rid of the indenting of the first paragraph, I'd just modify the .cls or something, right?

Thanks for pointing out where you neede more info. I'm new to posting on newsgroups, so I still have a lot to learn about how to be more specific!

i guess, from what dimitri says, that he's using
macros/latex/contrib/assignment (i don't suppose you do many class
assignments nowadays...)

which is not to say that a minimal example wouldn't be good, not to
say the rest of the information you ask for.

Oops. I read it too fast and thought he needed help on a writing
up a homework assignment. My apologies.

Indeed. It seems like it might be relatively easy to diagnose, once
an example is available to work with.
