Hey all,  I've got a few questions which I don't seem to be able to find the
answer to in the books that I have.

1. Where do I find the codes for various non-math symbols like the
registered trade mark (R)?  Is there a command/package which prints a
complete list of these symbols and/or the math symbols and their codes for
easy reference?

2. I want to have my subsubsections numbered, and included in my table of
contents automatically without having to put a \addcontentsline.  I also
want subsubsubsections.  I'd also like the Abstract and other frontmatter
'chapters', and the bibliography in the table of contents as well.  Will I
have to fiddle with the book.cls, or are there packages available?

I'm finding that with large LaTeX documents (200 pages+), something like the
outline view of Word97 would be handy, where you could move chapters,
sections, figures, equations, tables, and subdocuments around in a tree-like
environment under the main tex document.  Does anyone know of something
appropriate that currently exists?  If I were to develop something like this
for LaTeX docs would anyone else find a use for it?  You see, doing
something like that would be infinitely more interesting than actually
writing the thesis itself... :)

Thanks in advance.
