At the end of your message (below), you ask about visualizing Poincare 
maps. I recommend you look at Gianluca Gorni's notebook PoincareMaps.nb 
(which includes the code for a corresponding package). There's a version 
for old versions of Mathematica at Gorni's web site:

   http://sole.dimi.uniud.it/~gianluca.gorni/

I've done much of the revision of that notebook so that it will work 
with Mathematica 7, but there's still some work to do about which I've 
written directly to Prof. Gorni. If you're interested, I can send you a 
copy of what I have so far.

However, to run Gorni's functions, you'll also need a copy of David 
Park's non-free but marvelous and useful Presentations package, which 
handles much of the underlying graphics.  You can obtain the package 
from Park's site:

   http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/DrawGraphicsPage.html

The posted copy of Gorni's package uses Park's older DrawGraphics 
package, which like Presentations is not free and is available from the 
same site of David's.
