[texhax] simple manuscript

[Loeghmon T. Nejad]

Everyone,

On a related note, how can one omit the chapter number, meanwhile 
retaining the chapter name, both in the TOC, and at the start of each 
chapter? I tried >>\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{a chapter name}<< at 
no avail. It seemingly only affects sections, and not chapters. Thanks.
