Since I'm not a troff macro programmer, I'm trying to locate
some macros that will work with -mm macros to create a certain 
type of list.  This list is analogous to the numbered headings:

	.H 1 "Something"
	.H 2 "Something more"
	.H 2 "Something even more"
	.H 3 "Something less"
	.H 1 "Something else"

which should yield (ignoring pages breaks, etc.):

	1.	Something
	1.1	Something more
	1.2	Something even more
	1.2.1	Something less
	2.	Something else

I'm already using the numbered headings to provide the basic structure
of the document.

I need some type of list that would provide a similar numbering scheme 
(to provide for automatically numbered User Requirements in this case).
If the macros were able to accept a text label and use it as a prefix
(like "UR"), that would make them even more useful.

The goal is to provide a list like:

	UR 1.		text...

			descriptive text...

	UR 1.1		text...

			descriptive text...

	UR 1.2		text...

			descriptive text...

	UR 1.3		text...

			descriptive text...

	UR 1.3.1	text...

			descriptive text...

Does anyone know of any macros like these?  I've already checked archie
("set search exact", "prog mm") looking for any generally avaiable
mm macro libraries.

Thanks, in advance!

Bruce
