The problem w/ the first solution about creating a master article doc is that
There are <!DOCTYPE tags which aren't accepted in each of the chapters. This
isn't allowed in docbook. I have the above done as you say, yet it seems to
complain about a character that is not allowed, so I'm guessing it's the ! from
an imported <!DOCTYPE tag from a chapter file. Though when I pulled that out,
still got the same message.
The msg was ...
Cannot oen file
file:/Users/dir/dir/dir/index.docb:
Error in
file: /Users/dir/dir/dir/index.docb, line 5, column2: character now allowed
And the problem w/ doing the 2nd solution was that w/ OSX, I can't get another
instance going by the File|New menu items, it just replaces the current
instance w/ the selections.
Did I do something wrong again?

There is no bug there. If you want to use the Chapter template, you must
create a master Book document (using a text editor) which includes all
your chapters as entities. The real Chapter numbering will occur when
the XSL or DSSSL style sheet will be applied to the document.
Example of master document created using a text editor:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
"../../distrib/config/docbook/dtd/docbookx.dtd" [
<!ENTITY introduction SYSTEM "introduction.xml">
<!ENTITY fileMenu SYSTEM "fileMenu.xml">
<!ENTITY selectMenu SYSTEM "selectMenu.xml">
<!ENTITY editMenu SYSTEM "editMenu.xml">
<!ENTITY searchMenu SYSTEM "searchMenu.xml">
<!ENTITY styleMenu SYSTEM "styleMenu.xml">
<!ENTITY toolsMenu SYSTEM "toolsMenu.xml">
<!ENTITY xmlMenu SYSTEM "xmlMenu.xml">
<!ENTITY optionsMenu SYSTEM "optionsMenu.xml">
<!ENTITY windowMenu SYSTEM "windowMenu.xml">
<!ENTITY helpMenu SYSTEM "helpMenu.xml">

All the sections in the above example have been created using XXE, but
not the master Article document.
If you don't like this method, use a Book template. One is attached to
this email.
[1] Add it to the template subdirectory of your XXE distribution.
[2] Register it with XXE using the "New" dialog box (menu item
"File|New...").
After starting XXE, create an new Book and use another instance of XXE
to paste chapters to the newly created Book. Once this transition is
finished, continue editing the Book and definitely discard the Chapters.
I'll add your question to the FAQ of the XXE product (to be released
tomorrow).
We'll also probably develop a simple tool to help creating/changing
multi-part documents. Normally this is the job of the eventual content
management system for which XXE is just the authoring tool, but we don't
want to limit the usability of XXE for what is a detail.
