For the purpose you described, it may be sufficient to use the option 
ShowGroupOpener (for version 6) in the Options Inspector (or 
programmatically -- see ShowGroupOpener in the DocumentationCenter).

If you set that option at the notebook level, it will affect ALL groups, 
including input-output pairs.  You may want, instead, to apply this just 
to section cells and subsection cells, e.g.  In that case, apply the 
option to the corresponding type of cell in the Stylesheet.
