If, on the other hand, you want to leave the Fi files to be inserted unchanged and create a new FMain file that collects them all dynamically, thus mirroring any subsequent changes in the original Fi files,
1) just enclose the content of each Fi input file in a section of known name ( es Main)
2) insert as many sections in the Main file as there are Fi files to insert
