I have never used refer to its fullest capabilities. Luckily I have only ever had only tens of references in my papers, I have just numbered them manually and used a '.RL' to print them. I need to do this properly now
because I have to worry about 100+ references in the current report.

If I use footnote, and I do not want to use them for bibliographies, I simply
insert the string \*F in the test, put my test between FS/FE and it all just
happens, as in

        Here is a footnote \*F and it will appear at the bottom
        .FS
        Some footnote text.
        .FE
        of the pages.

However, by using a small extension to the MM macros suggested by
Andy Dougherty, the following manual numbering stuff works because
I do not sort the references.  I use a '.RL' for the display of the
accumulated references when they are flushed.

        .R1
        no-label-in-text
        no-label-in-reference
        label L
        join-authors " & " ", " ", & "
        database /z1/esi/damianm/admin/crc/2203/bibliography
        accumulate
        .R2
        Here is the first reference [1] about strength of composites.
        .[
        strength9
        .]
        And here is the second [2] one which talks about the
        .[
        layup57
        .]
        layers in the panel.
        And here is the lucky last, or [3] which mentions induced noise.
        .[
        noisey9
        .]
        Really rough heh!
        .HU References
        .[
        $LIST$
        .]

There has to be a better way to ensure that the numbering is automatic
and I do not have to keep track of it.

Any ideas?

Thanks - Damian

this is probably not helpful, but could'nt you just switch to MS (where the necessary macros exit and auto-numbering is not a problem)? or maybe these MS macros can be exploited/copied/modified to get it to work with MM, too?
