Bill Kleb is right, sounds either like a question for the TeX newsgroup
or FAQ.  My guess is you may have to edit a .sty style file to get this
sort of customization.  Chapter headings at the tops of pages behave
that way by default in LaTeX, if I remember correctly, so what you
propose certainly seems possible (and hopefully not in the
just-Turing-equivalent sense! <g>).  My recollections of LaTeX/TeX
programming (and even just writing documents in LaTeX) is that whatever
was provided by the macro package or style file author worked nicely,
but it was frustrating to try to change/customize.  Of course, my
knowledge of TeX as a language (and even LaTeX, to a lesser degree) was
at a fairly elementary level!

Subject: Pickaxe index question - LaTeX idea needed

A while back, there was a discussion of somehow adding a bit of magic=20
to the PickAxe index such that is a first level entry continued across=20
a page break, the first-level heading would somehow repeat at the top=20
of the second page. So, if the class list spread across two pages,=20
you'd get something like:

   Classes
       A
       B
       C
    ------------- new page
   Classes (cont...)
       D
       E

Now that I need to do this, I can't find the discussion anywhere. Does=20
this ring a bell with anyone? Can this be done in LaTeX?



Cheers

Dave
