Disappearing conditions in x-refs

[Steve Johnson]

What do you mean by this:

" e.g.  "Installing the Client" on page 82 -- is conditioned Print Only.
Update the book file and show Help Only. You may get 'on page 82' or the
entire x-ref now unconditional. The problem appears to be cumulative."

You mean you're still in Frame correct, and not processing the help?

If so then you probably have two cross references, one for the heading
and one for the page number and your condition tag ends with the
heading.

And this doesn't mean much:

"> Some complexity was engineered into the the x-ref definition (by a wizard
> long ago gone), so that Webworks could omit page references,"

Please explain. WebWorks will omit page number references all on its
own. You don't need "a wizard" to do that.
