Well, the example was constructed. A more reasonable example is:

	[[Attach:[[$Title]]/myFile.txt]]

	[[$Attachlist:[[$Title]]]]

which allows you to upload 'myFile.txt' to a subdirectory that has the 
same name as the current page, and similarly to only list the files in 
that subdirectory. I don't know if the above works right now, but it'd be 
nice if it did, especially if you are using a long pagename to fake a 
subgroup.
