If you download the pdf here:-

http://chuzzlewit.co.uk/utp_book-1.1.pdf

You can see what the book looks like after my patch has been applied. You 
should see:-

A bookmark overview pane with clickable entries for all .Se/.Ah/.Bh entries. 
(You have to open the section level to see the Ah and Bh entries.)

The Contents page is entirely clickable  for .Se and .Ah entries.

The index entries are clickable on the page numbers.

Any use in the text of "See Chapter ..." or "See Table ..." (where the table 
is on a different page to the text referring to it) is clickable.


Cheers
