Thanks--I was talking literally about .txt files. Sigil will open and convert a single text file as the first Section####.xhtml file. It seemed logical to me that, if someone were prepping for a project like this that creating separate text files BEFORE importing (since they are going to be separate chapters anyway, right?) would be the way to go, and that you would import each .txt file as the subsequent Section####.xhtml.

As I've found, Sigil will do this with html files, but additional .txt files go in the misc. folder.

Furthermore, Sigil will create additional Section files from your converted text by using the Page break command. So, if I had just started out with one big giant .txt, this would have been indicated.

Well--now I know! Frankly, I'd prefer to let Sigil create the xhtml file since it will be formatted the way the program wants it. It's all part of the learning curve, I guess!
