Thanks for the info Joris.

A hack would be great. For now I'm only using it to simulate a pageref? 
Function to tell if a label is defined or not. A pagerefpage function would 
be cool - to return the un-marked-up page number...

I will be generating the actual programs in awk to start with as the code is 
already written.

I'll use the dev list now on, I thought it was for C++ questions
