Hi Framies:
I am 6 months into the legendary Framemaker, I love it. 

I need a better manual. Is there such an animal? 

I am setting a bibibliography with numbered items.
I want the indexes (5, yes 5) to reflect not page numbers but the number of the index entry, which I have successfully numbered. Thus a main entry looks like this:

456  Smith, John David. Black slavery in the Americas. Westport: Greenwood Press, 1982. The most comprehensive bibliography on United States slavery.

I have entered the <pagenumonly> into the correct place in the reference pages, namely the "index specifications".

HOWEVER:

Only one index works, i.e. uses para numbers namely the standard index. This is perfect as in:C
Cape Colony in the 18th-century436

Cape Colony, 1657-1750 440

Cape slave voyage to Madagascar in French translation 427

Christmas choir parades 1483

The subsidiary indexes Titles, Authors, Places  reflect page numbers not paranumbers.
Thus:
A
adultery 67
alcohol issues 65

auctions 78


I have tried importing the formats; I have printed out the reference pages, but cannot figure out where I am going wrong.
