Opening book files without opening the book

[Steve Johnson]

It's just a matter of logistics. If Writer A opens Chapter1.fm and
inserts a cross-reference to Chapter2.fm which is currently opened by
Writer B, then that will fail.

To succesfully be able to insert an inter-chapter cross-reference,
Writer A needs all chapters to be writeable. After inserting the
cross-reference, Writer A must save all chapters. Frame puts a
cross-ref marker on the heading to which the cross-reference is made.

An easy way around this is to coordinate the placing of
cross-references at certain times during the project.
