My first attempt....I'm sure I made it harder than it needed to be. I was unfamiliar with all the different files that were extracted from the .LIT file (I am a total novice). I didn't know about the .opf file at all. I read MobiCreator's help files and followed those directions.

I dragged ALL the files to the Publication Files screen, and the files got placed there out of order - seems to be a bug with the software. Having to move up the chapters into the right places was not feasible - there were over 400 files. After a couple of tries, I gave up and started over again. Then I searched through these forums and found Harry's posting.

I'm just delighted that it worked so easily. Now that I won't be chained to buying books in the Mobipocket format, I'm ready to jump into eBooks full speed ahead.
