You don't want to try reindexing using CDX files as that will likely render the DBF file incompatible to dBASEIII. What you need to do is to use and separate IDX files. IIRC the syntax for opening table with indxex was:

USE dbf-filename INDEX idx-filename-list

and selection of index was:

SET INDEX TO idx-filename
