Ok, now I KNOW that "a console file is not just like any other file  
and that ..." it is not even a file.

The "bit of occasional bother" remains though because I occasionally  
work with several documents to keep them in line. e.g.

RBAv4-1 > CheckableItems > 13
RBAv4-1 > Homeworks > 13
RBAv4-1 > WorkOuts > 13
RBAv4-1 > Quizzes > 13
RBAv4-1 > Text > 13

where 13 is the chapter number.
