Hi.

Unfortunatelly, Framemaker/Frame+SGML has predefined build-in
Resources for all types of [auto]numbering.
In opposite to Index sort order that we can redefine for any language
from Greek and Russian to Thai and Lao, the autonumbering values are
the Frame Resource. Of course you can use ResEdit in Mac, or WorkShop in Win...
for find and redefine autonumbering strings..
I don't advice it yet.

Better make own Greek font - copy and put glyphs from Greek alphabet
over Latin ABCDEF in range from A to .. hmm.. z.

Fontlab, FontMonger or Fontographer helps you.

May be in next live, and next version like Framemaker 6 it should be
more plastically.
