Globally updating x-refs

[Art Campbell]

What you can try (works for me, but because you didn't post your
version / OS info, there may be some gotchas involved).

ON DISK, copy your source chapter file (S-0) to create the two
additional chapter files (S-1 and S-2).

IN THE BOOK FILE:

* Add the two new files in the appropriate place. You now have three
copies of the original chapter in the book, with different file names.
But all the cross-refs should still be working. Update and save the
book file.

* Open your S-0 and cut all the material that's moving to S-1 and S-2.
Save the file and update the book.

* Open S-1 and cut the material that's in the other chapters. Save the
file and update the book.

* Repeat for S-2.
