Hi, WP (for DOS!) Fans out there!

I have to write a scientific book and want to use a special type of
'dynamic' headings for this:
Let me explain with an example
When you open the book you will see a left and a right page,
heading on left page should contain the odd page number (on left margin)
and the main title of the summary.
--->
[page 11                                        2. History]

The heading on right page is more difficult, it should contain the
actual sub-main title of my summary appearing on the page below or
on the page(s) before and the even pagenumbers (on right margin).
---->
[2.1  History of construction                      page 12]

This looks quite simple when doing this 'by hand' for all chapters
every time the main and sub-main titles of the summary changes,
but if I have to fill in one or more pages the titles are moved
to the next page and the heading-titles are incorrect.

In short: How can I get the titles of the actual pages into the
actual heading of this page ??? (perhaps with a real good macro?)

To force you : with TeX no problem, but TeX is problem to me!

Any help is very appreciate
