Great!  Thanks.  Your tutorial has been very helpful to me.  I needed to
figure out how to set up a special-purpose format for my document and in
a moment I had just the solution I needed.

I suppose one could do...

(unless (find "per-file-class" org-export-latex-classes :key 'car
           :test 'equal)
  (add-to-list 'org-export-latex-classes
          '("per-file-class"
             "\\documentclass{scrartcl}
             [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
             [EXTRA]"
             ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
             ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
             ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}")
             ("\\paragraph{%s}" . "\\paragraph*{%s}")
             ("\\subparagraph{%s}" . "\\subparagraph*{%s}"))))

since the add-to-list is a globally side-effecting action; it doesn't
need to be repeated on each export, right?  [I thought at first pushnew
could do the job, but now I don't think so.]

Best,
