Document Classes

I am preparing a long (300+ pages) document using the memoir class. Obviously it needs a table of contents, but until today I didn't try to use the \tableofcontents command. Now that I have done so it does a good job _except_ that it starts with a link to itself, i.e. as well as the header "Contents", which is OK, it has another line that says "Contents .... .... 2", and as the reader is already on p. 2 there is no point in that, but I can't find any way to suppress it.

According to page 151 of the memoir manual, the \tableofcontents command adds itself to the table of contents, but the starred version \tableofcontents* does not. I assume it's accurate, but am too lazy to test right now.

As frabjous already pointed out, it is quite gainful to consult the concerned manual if a problem occurs with a special class or package. Manuals are not only for decoration or filling disk space.

Thanks. Adding the * works fine.

Sorry about the manual: I was looking in the wrong manual, as it didn't occur to me that this was something specific to the class memoir.
