Another roff question -- I've been through the manual without success.
Perhaps someone out there has already done this.


I'm using the mm .TC macro with eroff.  When long titles print, the 
page number is shifted back to the left column, such as:


                 Table of Contents

    Chapter 3: Words Words Words . . . . . . . . .  3-6
              3.1  A Very Very Very Long Title  . .  -
           3-7
              3.2  More Words . . . . . . . . . . . 3-10    


 Q1: How can I keep the Very Long Title from breaking to the next line?


 Q2: I also get offset numbers for my List of Figures and Tables pages:
     Is there a way to adjust my left hand Figure x-x. notation?


     Figure 9-8. SVID OS Routines . . . . . . .  9-2
    Figure 10-1. Example Structure . . . . . . .10-7
