The trouble with this is that you don't know whether the reference to the supplementary Index - 1085/S - applies to the year of the original entry or the Mar 73 Qtr. Thus if the entry is treated as an alternative data entry one entry may refer to the current quarter and the other to the M73 quarter thus creating confusion. It seems to me that the best way to deal with this is to TWYS and, as this will create a warning, simply add a theory ref entry , i.e. #THEORY,REF,see M/73 http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/highlight.pl?word=theory&word=ref&file=vol_faq.html#6q This would mean that any researcher would see what is on the Index page and also be directed to the Mar 73 in the same way as other late entries are.
