Oh, I'm such a dummy. I was still in the "font info" window and that's why I couldn't find "File"! D'oh.

You'll be happy to know that I've got EVERYTHING working PERFECTLY now, both in iBooks and ADE -- all the ligatures come out exactly as they're supposed to (including those that I switched over from dlig to liga). I really am so utterly thrilled and elated about this -- and you're a saint, Jellby, for all your help with this, you truly are!

Just a couple more comments on the other stuff you wrote...

I guess you could have the k replaced with k.swash whenever it's followed by space (in a similar way how the s is replaced with long-s), but you'd still have to activate the corresponding OpenType feature, which it seems you still haven't been able to. Contrary to the long-s, that k.swash glyph has no standard Unicode slot, so I can't recommend using that in the input text.

So basically I should probably just forget about that swashy "k"? It'd be nice to toss it in here and there, but it's not like I'm losing out on a whole bunch of swashy characters -- it's only the "k".

It's not a ligature, it's probably a k with cedilla. I guess you only noticed because you saw the corresponding swash glyph, but there's also l, m, n, r...

Ah, okay -- funny, being from Canada I'm used to seeing French text and the c+cedilla, but that's the only context that I'm used to seeing it in so it never occurred to me that it was a k+cedilla. I guess I should get out more.

Well, this has truly been quite a journey! Again, I just don't know how to thank you! I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with some other questions, but I think for now I might have a little bit of fun fancying up my text a little bit with those two "flowers" (ornaments) fonts that were included in that Fell font set.

It's been a slice, Jellby! (again!)
