I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up the generating function 
to handle generating keys for a couple of special situations.  My 
current generator looks like:

[auth][key]:[year:(unk)]:[shorttitle:abbr:upper]

So, if I put in a key, it appends it to the author name followed by the 
year and title abreviation (ex Hubert_B:2003:FAR -- where the _B is in 
the key).  After thinking about it, I would like to hardwire the author 
part of the citekey -- even if the author field is already specified.  I 
tried defining the generator as:

[key:auth]:[year:(unk)]:[shorttitle:abbr:upper]

but [auth] is never used and is left blank if there is no key field.

For specific testing, here is a partial entry on a 900 year old 
Sanskrit manuscript:

   title = {The Rasa-ratna-samuccaya of M\={a}nikyadeva S\={u}ri},
   author = {{M\={a}nikyadeva S\={u}ri, fl. 1268-1327}},
   year = {1986},
   translator = {Sikdar, J.C.}

I would prefer to have this entry either Sikdar:1986:RRS or 
Suri:1268-1327:RRS instead of M=anikyadevaS=urifl.12681327:1986:RRS

    Suggestions?
