  I am using LaTeX , C Version 2.09. When I use a command like
the following

\section{fasljdalskjdlkasjd}

text text text text text text for a few lines
<Blank Line>
more text................




Now, when I use a DVI Viewer, I get a break at the end of the
paragraph, but no space between the two! How should I approach
this?

Also, why does the \tableofcontents command not make itself into
a unique page? I have to insert \pagebreak after it.

And...I use a lot of  SI Units in my reports, such as m/s and
the like, but instead of typing m/s, I type m \cdot s^{-1}. I
want to know how I can abbreviate it this with one command.
Like a \def or a \newcommand.

  Thanks again.
