REM Handy little utility to draft a table of contents using
REM the names of files in the current directory
REM Save it on your search path - type "path" in a command window to see where your command processor searches for commands and save it in one of those places
REM Use "open command window here" to run it anywhere http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/109/1/How-to-add-Open-Command-Window-Here-context-menu-option-on-file-system-folders-in-Windows-Vista.html
REM Then just run mktoc
REM It will create a file named toc.txt that you can edit to create an annotated index of the files in the current directory
REM re-run it any time and it will add any new files to toc.txt but not disturb the ones you already have indexed
