Hi TeX land,

	I have a question, well in fact a few questions, that I hope you
	people will be able to help me with.

	I'm putting together a manual and using LaTeX on a VAX as the
	layout package, but I've come up against the following problems

	1) When I use the \part{XYZ} command I always get a blank page
	   between the part cover page and the first chapter of the part.
	   Is there a method of doing away with this extra page?

	2) As part of my page style I write the text PART X at the 
	   bottom of the page, I'd like to include the full name of
	   the part, but as I pinched the style file from the LaTeX
	   style file directory, and stabbed at it blindly to get what
	   I currently have, I'm not sure how to get the text for the
	   part name. Is there a variable that contains the current part
	   name? Can anyone help?

	3) \footnote indents the first line, and then leaves subsequent 
	   lines out in left field. e.g

		start of footnote...........
	   subsequent line stuck out in left field etc...

	   Is there a way of telling LaTeX either not to indent, or preferably
	   to indent all lines so the text is a uniform block? I hope this 
	   explains the problem, and that some one out there in net land can 
	   help.

    Any help with these questions would be appreciated,


    Joe Grant
