Further on this issue. If I put a \chapter before the TOC then the contents of 
the TOC disapear silently. If I put a \title before the TOC that works but 
the title of course doesn't appear in theTOC.

If I change the definition of \title to match the one you gave me for \chapter
then again the contents of the TOC disappear silently.

If instead of changing the def of title I use the 
\writebetweenlist....\writetolist commands then the title will appear in the 
TOC but the pagenumber will be wrong. 

Here is what my customer  want:s:
1. A TOC
2. No chapter or section numbers anywhere.
3. Certain blocks of text which occur before the TOC to be listed in the TOC 
with the correct page number.

Any suggestions, anyone?
