YES, i get it :-)
Sorry, a little daft,  but it took a moment to click in.   That's simply
BRILLIANT!!!.

And for the imports list & talk-ca list.
This change will require a slight 'lengthening' of the number of Rules.txt
file in the folder, i AM prepared to handle it all myself, but if anyone
wants to help (Richard) please let me know what rules.txt file you want to
work on.  And everyone else, what features do you want to see shown as
independent .osm files?
... and the fixing process is rather easy.  It just requires the changing of
the details in the column of the CanVec Map features chart, to indicate the
new filename of the rules.txt file.
