Problem: creating an index or table of contents that shows the sextion as well
as the page number.  I.E.

Chapter 14 ........14-1

Biorhythyms  ......14-3

I solved the table of contents as follows:

Highlite the listing for the first section; Use the "change" dialogue box and
change "...??" to ".2-??"; then click in the "change selection" box.  Note that
I use the dotted leader tabs to provide the "....." between the header and the
page number, and this allows me to set some known characters as the beginning
of the "find" string.  This is necessary when using the "?" as a wild card in
the find command.  Otherwise the command will *find* every character in the
hilited area.

(Find "?" will *find* every ASCII character, including spaces;   find "a ?b"
will find every occurrence of an "a" followed by a space followed by any
character.)

Hope this is of some help.
