In FrameMaker releases prior to 6, chapter auto-numbering can only be done with paragraph-based auto-number formats, in combination with the book window and File > Generate/Update. (FrameMaker 6 introduced the <$chapnum> book-wide building block, although the older method also worked.)
For detailed information on auto-numbering in FrameMaker 5.5, consult the online help, user manual, and search the archives of frameusers.com, and the Adobe.com FrameMaker User-to-User forums. Also, search Google for framemaker tutorials.

You're correct! This suggestion applies to FrameMaker releases beginning with 6. HTH
