BTW, if you're only interested in auto-incrementing counters, you won't need to use KindleGen, because Calibre generated AZW3 files support auto-incrementing counters just fine, as long as you select AZW3 and not MOBI as the target format.

However, as Hitch has pointed out, if you preparing a book for submission to Amazon KDP, you'll have to implement fall-back styles, which makes the use of auto-incementing pointer moot, because there's no point in using auto-incrementing counters and hard-coded numbers, because you might as well only use hard-coded numbers.
Apoligies -- you are correct about Calibre supporting counters just fine ... except in the AZW3 TOC page which is as far as i looked (Big shame on me). Probably not needed in the TOC anyways,since the H1, H2, etc. structure accomplish the same thing

Since the stuff I do is for personal or family use, I can live with that, and now that I understand how counters are used, I think I can make my life easier. The last PD book I re-formatted ('cleaned') had 3-4 Parts (h1), and about 60 Chapters (h2), all numbered the hard way

Thanks to all
