+****************************
+	README.TXT:
+****************************
+Author: Doug McCord
+Date: 20-Feb-2022
+
+****************************
+Intro notes: 
+	This menu was stripped down from the bigger game and settings testing 
+	I was doing -- so there's a decent chance yet of something broken -- 
+	please let me know if you encounter anything that's not linking up as 
+	desired. Currently there are temp destinations loaded for each of the 
+	menu options -- these are saved as scenes in the screens folder.
+
+	Currently almost all the buttons are instances of the same source 
+	button object -- linked to their destination using the 'Next Scene Path'
+	available in the inspector.
+
+****************************
+Project file structure:
+	Surface Layer:
+		Default Godot files remain at this level
+
+	_toArchive:
+		Directory to serve as reference-only; precursor to trash
+
+	assets:
+		Images, fonts, TRES text resource data files
+
+	globalScripts:
+		For project-wide use, or scripts that are not either: 
+			A. attached to a template scene, intended to go with all instances of that, or 
+			B. unique, scene-specific scripts. 
+
+	screens:
+		Planned to include both .tscn scene files and their associated scripts. 
+
+	userInterface: (note misnomer for text-based game)
+		Re-useable UI elements and their scripts, such as change-scene, input-response
