Help cross-referencing two autonumbered series

[Ridder, Fred]

According to the FrameMaker documentation, there is a building
block for cross-references that is of the form <$paranum[paratag]>,
which is specifically designed for this kind of situation. This building
block will pick up the numbering of the last preceding paragraph 
that is tagged with the "paratag" tag. If you add this building block
to your x-ref format (substituting the actual tag name of your parent 
step, of course) you should be home free.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Subject: Help cross-referencing two autonumbered series

Hello all,

Does anyone know how (or if) you can make a cross-reference when two or
more autonumbered series are used?

For example: I want the cross reference to read: 
see Step2c on page 9
I had been using see Step c on page 9 (for example this is formatted:
Step <$paranumonly>\ on page <$pagenum>) or Step 2 on page 9, but I need
to consolidate in one cross reference. Can anyone help? I am using the
following autonumbering formats in my paragraph designer. 

You'll see I use two different letters for the two different numbered
series.
For the parent (Step2 in this case)
D:Step <n+>

For the child (c. in this case)
T:<a+>.\t

Thanks,
James
