If this bug is true, it really makes you wonder how the PDF online
manuals were made in FM6, because they use this numbering system
exactly (i, ii, iii, 4, 5, etc.). Don't Adobe use FM to make the
online manuals? If they do, they should have discovered this bug.
It would be interesting to get this confirmed by other FM6 users.
