Here are answers for my two refer questions (of course there are more
other ways).

1. refer with abbreviation when numbering is used.

	I have found that grefer (GNU verison of refer) does what I
	want. You can set a command to turn the abbreviation on. And
	it has much more features than refer.

	I was alos told that bib can do it too.

2. troff file with a line starting with ".".

	Add "\&" in front of . this way this line is not considered
	as troff command line and since "\&" is a zero length 
	non-printable character, you are ok.


Thanks to those who responded.
