OK, once again, you've answered the what, but not the why.  I'll play 
dentist now and ask some more focused questions.

Where did file1, etc come from?  Are these user files?  Are they part
of your library?

Why is the distinction between a constant and a literal sequence important
to useit?

You say that you don't want to process a literal sequence.  Please explain 
the reason behind this.
