When I saw the "document-viewer expert" in the subject I actually
expected to read something new, but it's the same old story that we
receive every so often from backseat coders, i.e. it's bad, weird,
strange, etc., but no suggestion on how to improve it ;-)

All records have a header (that includes a field for the number
paragraphs). Nothing weird about that.

I suggested a feature for next/previous page handling in January '01
(I even included a demo:) and later on you (Bill) suggested the tour
concept,

  When you're on a tour, "page down" would automatically take
  you to the next section, if you are at the end of the current
  page.  You would be able to select any one of the various
  available tours for a document.

It's not difficult to implement in the viewer (I have already shown
that with my demo), but the complex part is how to support it in the 
parser, i.e. how do you create these tours?
