It's called IndexRef, from www.sundorne.com. I think somebody must have
replied to Fei Min personally because she has downloaded the evaluation
version already.
I've been offline most of the day or I would have jumped in earlier.

Hi, Fei Min:
I think there's a FrameMaker plug-in or script that adds the ability
you want. Try searching Google and the various fora for variations on
see also plugin, FrameMaker plug-ins, etc.
I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned it by name, yet. Perhaps
re-titling your subject to something like "FrameMaker see-also TOC
enhancement needed," you'd get more focused responses.

This is my first time creating an index in FrameMaker in over 10
years, so
I'm a bit out of touch. The last time I had to do this, we just printed
the manual; we didn't publish it as a PDF.
Now I've discovered that when I have a "see" or "see also" reference
in my
index, the PDF version of the index creates a link from those words
to the
place where I put that index marker. For example, if my index entry has:
absolute data file
see .o file and .cfo file
then when someone clicks on "see", they jump to the place in text
where I
created the index marker. The index marker contains:
absolute data file:<Emphasis>see <Default Para Font>.o file
<Emphasis>and
<Default Para Font>.cfo file<$nopage>
Ideally, this is what I'd like it to do in the PDF:
link on the words ".o file" and ".cfo file" instead of on "see".
jump to the index entries for ".o file" and ".cfo file"
If we can't do that, I would settle for not having a link at all.
This case is somewhat palatable because if you click on "see", at
least it
takes you to somewhere that talks about .o files and .cfo files.
However,
I have another reference entry for "manipulating" which points
readers to
"changing", and since this is just a synonym and doesn't have a specifi
context, it's rather confusing when it jumps to "Breakpoint
Manipulation".
I'm using FrameMaker 7.2, the structured flavour (but I don't think that
makes any difference in this case), on Windows XP.
