Converting multiple text files to xhtml?

I'm trying to create an epub from a batch of text files. When I open the first one it shows up as the content in the first XHTML file in the text folder. However, everytime I try to open the subsequent text file, it just starts a NEW file. I don't want that. I was expecting to find some way to add each text file to the text folder as the subsequent xhtml file. Obviously, it doesn't work this way! So, how does it work?

I have tried "Add New Item" but this just adds a blank xhtml file. So I try adding an existing item. The text files just go in the Misc. Folder. I can click and drag the text file up to the text folder, but I'm missing the step that converts it to xhtml.

Obviously I'm new at ePub creation. However, everything I have read suggests that each chapter should be a separate xhtml file. However, I'm having trouble finding some direction in making this happen. Thanks in advance for any help pointing me there.
