I cannot find ANYTHING on the files in the File Sharing Preferences folder, but they are multiplying as I install programs.
Specifically, What Are They and What Do They DO?
Files:
Mac OS 8 PDF (with no extension)
Mac OS 8.6 Update PDF (with no extension)
Power Macintosh G3 PDF (with no extension)
LaserWriter Software PDF (with no extension)
Font Manager Updater PDF (with no extension)
Adobe 3.0 PDF (with no extension)
Roxio Toast Titanium 5.0.2 PDF (with no extension)

I THINK they must be part of the help system, but I CANNOT open them using help (I searched help with those titles), Context menu, etc.
But WHY at that specific location, there's nothing about them ANYWHERE!
Nothing on Google about them, I searched forums, books, CD's are they displayed across network shares?
I'm using AppleTalk across Ethernet to a Pi2b running A2server shared with 4 PC's and many old Mac's and Apple II's.
Using Conflict Catcher to manage Extensions, Stuffit Deluxe 6.5, I Trashed Toast, bu that file is still there.
Just trying to Grok the whole Help system, there are Guide document files all over the Applications folder, and they don't open when I double click on them. Is there a way to restore the file open associations? How Do I find that app, and how do I use it?
Thanks, just re-learning and curious after re-capping and Pram Battery replacement.
 
Add a .pdf extension to the file name to make it easier to view them in modern macOS?
