Frame 9 Structured file, Save Book as HTML, split HTML? HELP!

I'm pulling my hair out.  I can't get Frame 9 (when it is not crashing for random reasons) to output my Structured book as multiple HTML files (one each chapter).

I'm being stupid about generating the HTML, just doing Save Book As (selecting HTML).  

I set up all my structured chapters using the difficult-to-find HTML Setup menu window.  My element called Chapter (this begins a new chapter) is mapped to a Division and I have selected Start New, Linked Web Page at levels (all levels).

That's supposed to break up the HTML file and a new web page when it comes across the Chapter element.  At least, I think it is.

But it does not do that.  It just outputs one vast HTML which consists of all the chapters in the book.  As a bonus irritation, all the links in the book assume/think that the book has been split and look for the split HTML's.  But they were not generated.

My HTML conversion table says this:

E:Chapter | DIV | 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 | N | 

this is:

FM Source | Element | New web page? | include auto# | Comments

My HTML conversion table for paragraphs does not include any "yes" items since it is structured and generating HTML from elements alone.

Or do I also need to alter how the paragraph styles are mapped as well?

Ugh!
