[Framers] Grouping books, generated lists, and cross-references

[Eric_Isaacson at selinc.com]

In case anyone was curious, I was able to get what I wanted to work from 
within Frame 12. By adding a folder to one book, populating that folder 
with the individual files of the second book, and then generating a 
postscript file (and then a PDF), I got cross-book cross-references with 
no generated list or page number oddities. 

One weird thing I discovered, however, was that I have to set the PDF 
Setup options every time I generate the PS file. I don't encounter this 
behavior with other books without added folders that I work on.
