Thanks. I had read that thread, but that doesn't tell me what I'm doing wrong with my variables, why I'm not getting the prefix on a per-volume basis in the master index.
I don't know if the method I'm attempting is wrong, the variable placement/reference is incorrect, or something else. Anyone?

What we ultimately want is 3 separate books with a single index that spans all 3 voumes. We want to differentiate the volumes in the master index such that all entries from the first volume are preceded by "A-", the second by "B-", and "C-" for the third. I've set up a .book for each volume, containing the chapters for each sub-book. Then I've created a master .book file that has in it the three .book files, along with a generated index file at that master book level. I've set the page numbering for all files to "Read from file". I've gone in and edited the <$volnum> variable in each of the individual .fm files and made them A, B, and C. Then on the reference page of the master index file, I edited the IndexIX entry to read <$autorange><$volnum>-<$pagenum> assuming that it would pull the volume number of the .fm file being read. Apparently this isn't the way to go about it, as it's not working. I just get 1-xx for all page numbers.
