The X-ray emission fom early-type stars can be a dominant factor in determining the ionization structure of a stellar wind. Using a base coronal model, the UV resonance lines of N V, Si IV, and C IV are calculated by subjecting them to changes in the coronal emission measure, coronal temperature, and mass loss rate. The calculations predict that a unique behavior is present in the variations of these line profiles. This suggests that it would be possible to distinguish which quantity was responsible for the variation. A preliminary search for this predicted variability, using the high-resolution short wave prime (SWP) data from the IUE archives, was conducted for several stars.
