The following are changes that I'd like to see made to the new layout

Move the Language Basics sub-section into it's own file, add a brief passage and a table of contents for the sub-sections that follow.
Create a new file The Scene (maybe there's a better name) to serve as a table of contents for the sub-sections in this group.
Create a new file Atmospheric Effects and merge those single files as sub-sections of the proposed single file.
Create a new file Lighting Types to serve as an introduction and table of contents for the sub-sections that follow.
Moved the Patterns section up one in the order, so that it's after Textures.
Create a new file Include Files and add an introduction, also add the sub-sections Main Files, Old Files, and Older Files to that file. Add links to each include file.
Did not add the Quick Reference maybe we should consider dropping that section.
