If you're a manual bookmarks fellow/lass[1], then you're 
most certainly interested in having more than one local 
bookmark file. Thankfully, this is quite easy with VF-1, 
your obvious gopher client of choice[2].

As you already know, having read link [1], VF-1 reads the 
bookmark file as if it were the output of a gopher server. 
Therefore, the contents of the bookmark file follow the spec 
in RFC 1436, more or less. This means you can link to other 
text files in your local filesystem, in your efforts to 
deepen and complexificate your local gopher bookmark 
structure.

In order for it to work (as of 4/6/2018), you have to us the 
directory item type ("1") and the full path to your text 
file. You won't be specifying a server or a port (unless you 
are running a local gopher server, but still, don't.) You 
*will* need to keep the trailing <tab> characters, for 
things to process properly. It looks like this:

1More Links<tab>/home/user/.vf1-more.txt<tab><tab>

This works because at line 211 in vf1.py (as of 4/6/2018), 
VF-1 asks if gi.host is set, processing it as a local 
file if not... and as you can see above, we've got nothing 
between the two tabs where a hostname would normally be.

In this fashion, one could have as many local bookmark files 
as they wanted, for every category of bookmarks they 
desired. It's a great way to over-complicate something that 
is far too simple out-of-the-box.
