I'm writing an "appendix" macro in troff with MM macros.  I want
the pages numbered like A-1, A-2, etc.  I can get this numbering
at the top of the pages themselves, but the page numbers listed
in the table of contents (TOC) come out as 1.

I'm resetting the page number in register P to 1 for each appendix,
and using .HU to print the appendix title, which is why I get the
number 1 in the TOC for each appendix.  I don't mind abandoning .HU
if there is some other way to put an entry into the TOC that has
the same appearance as that generated by .HU, except with page
numbers like A-1, B-1, etc.

Anybody have an idea?
