Help! 
I'm working on a document using nroff/troff with the 
mm macros. My question is this:

How can I set the document up so the headers come out as:
. First level headers are capital roman numerals (eg. I, II, etc.)
. Lower levels are arabic, and concatenated, but not* with the
  first level.

Example.
I.	Major Section
1.	First point under major
1.1	First point under above minor
1.1.1 	etc.

2.	Blah...

This is the format of the "Document Processing Guide" for the Unix
System, by Western Electric (Publication Number: 341-920).

I think some fiddling with the .HX macros are in order, but I don't
know how (or which ones).
