I have a document which needs to refer the user to (sometimes forward)
sections by section number.  Currently the references are hard-wired and
quickly becoming out of date.

I already have some hacks for automatically generating table of contents
when using sectioning commands (essentially, some macros to do the ToC
stuff, then call .NH).  What I want is the equivalent of \ref{} from
LaTeX, but implemented for troff ms macros.

Please e-mail replies to <jtkohl@mit.edu>, as I don't normally read
troff stuff in this newsgroup.
