[Framers] A FrameMaker bug or is something wrong with my files?

[Dennis Brunnenmeyer]

Hi Rick...

Yes, that was indeed the problem. What is strange, though, is that I 
noticed this before I gave up and posted my query. I made the correction 
to the file name but perhaps I forgot to save the file and/or the book 
first before trying again to correct the problem.

At any rate, it's solved now. Thanks for pointing out the cause.

Dennis....
