Hello everyone.

Thank you all for your help.

Yes, the traditional links do work:

<a href="Chapter-1.xhtml">Chapter One</a>

I do not need the "../" in the link. Don't know what happened before. Maybe it is because I transferred the file to another user on my computer before loading it onto my iPod Touch. I don't have that iPod right now, so I cannot confirm that that is a problem; but, the epub does work as expected on a friend's iPhone and it does validate as expected with epubcheck-1.0.5.

So, I don't know what went wrong before, but all is fine, now. Thank you all, again. Your responses told me what to look for when trouble-shooting the files.

Oh! BTW, I opened Winnie-The-Pooh and found all permissions were set as
everyone: no access. If I edit a file by extracting it with Springy, I have to set it to
everyone: Read & Write
or else Springy won't let me overwrite the old file when I replace it with the new one, for what that is worth.
