The creators fo xpdf have suggested the \pdfdest command. The 
writeup of this command is a bit terse in the "Pdftex Manual." 
So I will experiment with it for a while. 

Has anyone used the \pdfdest command? Does it work by itself or 
must one have related commands embedded in the text?

To recap, what I want to have are markers or reference points in 
the pdf file so that the xpdf commmand 
xpdf foo.tex +xyz 
will open at marker xyz. This will be very helpful when authorng 
or editing a document and approach a WYSIWYG capability.
