Thanks Tzafrir, the answer is using paste: paste [...] | awk and making the awk script treat odd and even (for 2 files) differently. actually that may be generated automagically for more files ...

Can you filter them one at a time, or do you need to cross reference

no, filtering one at a time is simply calling: awk [options] file1 file2 ... which is equivalent to calling: cat file1 file2 ... | awk [options] this I would have found myself with man awk .
Could you define what you mean by 'interlaced' here? are the filesinterlaced as in paste. Taking a line from each file in order.
cross referential?
The files are not cross referential, However they have identical formats and
I need to rearange the information of several files into a new file.

They hang the man and flog the woman
That steal the goose from off the common,
But let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose.
