Finally, I decided to follow the detailed instructions left by Calibre's creator, Kovidgoyal.
Not being very computer-savvy, it took me a while to figure out his no-doubt simple instructions. I even made a TOC, without needing to, as I have a "Start_here" html page which presumably acts as one. It points to the other pages.
I uploaded the "start_here" unto the GUI and saved the zip file with the OPF unto my desktop. I used Mobipockets to open the OPF, but it just doesn't do anything. Nothing loads.
I'm stumped. Can anyone help me out? Thanks so much for any help.
P.S.: I have since downloaded iterati's VHtmlMerger, and though it was the easiest of all the progs, I still don't have a good end result. The output file has no format, so I tried naming it "One.html", also .txt, .rtf, etc. It simply has code, not the e-Book contents.
Please note that I also have the files to be joined in PDF, as well as HTML, in case that sparks any ideas.

The best bet is to put all the files in a zip file and then import the zip file to Calibre and let it do its thing. For an output format you might choose mobi or ePUB and then use that file with an appropriate program. mobipocket reader cannot read a zip file. It expects a .mobi file or .prc with mobi specific content.
