strange, here too (should've saved that log file when it didn't).

That's what I am describing below. It runs ok with head, though
it doesn't what I want it to do (I don't want the counter to
increment along with sections, and I want to reset it with 
every page). It exits with an error message when I replace the
def'n of a head with that of an enumeration.

Yes, within setuphead, not within setupenumeration.

I need a heading with a counter on its own, which is referrable,
and listable, and which resets with each new page. Eventually,
it should have a number that consists of the page number and
an alphabetical counter, so subsequent entries on one page 6 have
counters 6a, 6b, and so on.

I sound like the doctors who switch on their computer for using SAS
every half a year, and then phone me up for details :-(
