Just edit the papyrus output format you're using to transfer your data to 
another program to include the reference number:

Select the format to Edit | Indentation Numbering | Each reference may be 
preceded by... select Ref#.

You could then import that number into a field in your target database - 
possibly one you have customised and called "Pap Ref #".

PS We switched over the summer to EndNote 5 for all staff and students 
personal bibliographic databases on both PCs and Macs.  It will be far 
easier to teach new research students and its working in with Word makes it 
terribly attractive.  Feedback from students was that they found Papyrus 
difficult and ugly.  The main problem is importing Papyrus notecards - I'm 
devising a 'solution' for that currently.  If Dave would like it on his 
website, I'd be happy to send it to him once it's completely tested and 
documented.

I'm also looking at Biblioscape for its client-server capabilities using 
InterBase.  It looks the most promising for our wider institutional 
research activity database, which we currently run using Papyrus.

PPS Thanks for all the help over the years, Dave.
