I'm actually glad you took a while to answer some of these. I figured
out a bunch on my own, which is usually more memorable.

Thanks. I found some alternate scripts Nautilus scripts, but I removed
them. The only thing I really miss are the icon overlays, and the
scripts didn't restore that function, they just opened a context menu.
If I run across them again, I'll see if I can contact the creator to see
if he's interested in having a poke at the thg version of the scripts.

I really didn't want to get into coding on this, if I can avoid it.
Since this isn't the OP's issue, I'll leave this alone, but I agree that
a Help link to 5.2 would be fantastic. Since the link isn't required to
fix the documents, I'll focus on that for now and rethink getting into
the code later.

I figured this out in a moment of Doh! The labeled references are the
only way to make the links work across documents within the set. Outside
references are more problematic in that they have to be maintained to
avoid dead links. I can take on that role for a while.

Thanks again for your help and insights. I have a lot to think about.
Now that I've gotten one patch in, I can move from document to document
in the source and hopefully bring things up to date. I need to play
around some with the context menus because there are a lot more versions
of the context menus than are shown in the images.
