I'd vote against that, at least as a default setting: There are many things (especially *huge* bibtex references) that I'm using in most of my writings. I really don't want to bloat my text files by appending that over and over again... And of course there's also the problem of file system, as currently your input files can be spread all over your disk, even on network drives. I guess the approach of storing everything with the text would imply having sort of a subdir for all the files of one doc? Pit
