Here's a challenge for all those vi macro hackers out there...

My supervisor creates quite a bit of documentation for my current
project but has a hard time organizing it (ie this section references
this other section in the file somewhere else).

I know about the tags file but i was wondering if someone could write
some macros so that it would jump to places according to what is
contained in the present file (ie have a tags file for each file)

I was thinking along these lines...  At the bottom of the file have any
keywords and their appropriate files and position (probably a search
pattern) listed. At the press of a key grab the word you are currently
on and  see if it exists at the bottom, if so go to that file and
position.

Any takers????
