          Application No. 08/367,418                                                  

                                      APPENDIX                                        
               17. The method according to claim 11 wherein said                      
          zeolitic dewaxing catalyst comprises from .01 to 2 wt% noble                
          metal.                                                                      
               18. The method according to claim 11 wherein said                      
          zeolitic dewaxing catalyst comprises from .1 to 1 wt%                       
          platinum.                                                                   
               19. The method according to claim 11 wherein said                      
          injection of ammonia is made at at least one point along the                
          length of the dewaxer reactor.                                              
               20. The method according to claim 11 wherein said                      
          injection of ammonia is made at at least three points along                 
          the length of the dewaxer reactor.                                          
               11. A method of controlling the stability of an                        
          isomerization dewaxing process in which a waxy hydrocarbon                  
          fraction is contacted under dewaxing conditions with a                      
          zeolitic dewaxing catalyst comprising zeolite beta in a                     
          dewaxing reactor having an inlet and an outlet, the method                  
          comprising injecting ammonia vapor into the reactor to contact              
          the catalyst in amounts sufficient to maintain operating                    
          temperatures in said dewaxing reactor below 900EF.
