Thanks Jürgen,
I've managed to solve this, and will document it on Troubleshooters.Com
shortly. It's basically what you said, although the examples in
texmf/makeindex are too complex for the person not understanding the concepts
of makeindex. The makeindex man page is better suited to the newbie (but my
web page will be better suited yet :-)
Thanks
