Well, that explains why I can't access the help menu / docs with either F1 or
the drop-down menu.

Is there documentation / explanation for how that all works?
Just curious, because one thing I'd like to see folks voluntarily adopt is
version numbers in their filenames and as comments in the code.

I often can't figure out which file I have, or what the latest file of the 12
all-named-the-same "myUsefulMacros.inc" is, and if I understood the reasoning
behind the classification, I could start to play along from home.  ;)

It would also be useful for the Insert-Menu, parts of which I tend to
extensively edit, and am paranoid that I'm going to accidentally obliterate with
some new version installation....

Thanks!   :)
