Yes, I understand that you can put multiple files in a component, but that 
means I have to write the Source for each of the files, and spell out each file 
xml element.  I basically just want to set the Source to a directory and 
include all files under that directory.  Or some process that converts a 
directory to <File Id="A" Source="A.txt"> <File Id="B" Source="B.txt"> 

I can't be typing this each and everytime.

Heat tool.  I'll look into it.  

Do you know of any websites with tutorial on it?  Any way to integrate into 
MSBuild?

I'm also a newbie, so my solution below could be "wrong". However, it works:

 

<Directory Id="SourceDirectoryDir" Name="Source">

  <Component Id="BunchOfFiles" Guid="YOURGUID">

    <File Id="FileX" Source="1.htm">

    <File Id="FileY" Source="2.htm">

    <File Id="FileZ" Source="3.htm">

  </Component>

</Directory>


Something like that. However, I do remember that this technique is not 
recommended - for some reason I don't know...
