Hedley:
Try keeping each TOC in separate chapter of a book for the whole project.
Set Up FIle in the book can control pagination issues. No inset or
reference issues should occur. Print to single .ps file.

If this is a solution, please post to the list.

Regards,

PS: I almost didn't reply as I got tired trying to filter the meat from
the narrative; Dick's embellishments nearly finished off my patience.
We're all looking for a little fun to lighten the seriousness of the day,
but the effort of filtering is another stressor, at least for me.
