I've been using AmigaTeX here for the last couple weeks and can say it is
eminently suitable for your stated requirements. ( Hint... use THESIS.STY ;-))
The programs real power is typesetting complex or long technical documents...
areas where you'd go `zonkers' using a word processor or desk-top publishing
program. You might want to go browse through `The TeXbook' by Donald Knuth
at your local university bookstore. 
AmigaTeX is available from Radical Eye Software, Box 2081, Stanford, CA 94309
