If I format each PG short story w/ Sigil into an ePub and then try to add them into a NEW Sigil file, each of the additions is put into the MISC folder. This seems to obviate any additional editing e.g. Sigil Chapter Breaks etc.

Concatenating the HTML files is one solution but is a pain. The other option is to open each short story in Sigil, copy everything between <body> and </body> and then paste it into the New Sigil file. Also a pain.

I use the same CSS file to avoid any conflicts.

So, am I missing something? Or is this somrthing for the future?
It's really quite obvious. You open Sigil, go to Text, right click, Add Existing Items, choose a html file that you have downloaded from Gutenberg before, of course. then handle every single html as a separate book.
