Please answer?

Don't open any of them from the file system. You have two choices ..
from the Structure Tools menu choose "Edit Application Definitions
to edit your "local" structapps file (this is most likely what you
should be using) .. OR .. from the Structure Tools menu choose "Edit
Global Application Definitions". The app definitions in the "local"
file are typically those that you create for your own use. The
"global" app definitions are those for apps provided by Adobe.<br>
<br>
I recommend that people never modify the default apps .. either
create your own from scratch (for advanced users only), or clone the
default apps and give them a new name and modify those (the most
likely scenario). You will mess up the apps (everyone does), and
it's important to have the default unmodified apps to go back to for
testing. In general you should be able to have all the apps
"installed" and available for use at the same time.<br>

<br>
I comprehend that several of you think I should start with
something less complex than DocBook. There is an XML application
called SelfPublish which has only 2 Doctypes: GeneralBook and
Chapter. It has a location for DTD and template, but no read/write
rules or entities (public ID).
<br>
<br>
The problem with using the SelfPublish app is that I find it
easier to remove what I don’t need than to create something which
I don’t yet understand.
<br>
<br>
If I modify one of these DocBook apps, can I disassociate _my_
DocBook from the public entities? If so, which should I choose?
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I'd start by using DocBook (or DITA) out of the box, totally
unmodified. Get comfortable with that and then try making any needed
modifications (after cloning the apps). You don't have to use the
entire model, just use the bits that you need and ignore the rest.
If you're just learning how this all works, starting off by trying
to modify things is just going to cause huge amounts of grief.<br>
