Sounds like you want an ERD (entity-relationship disgram) charting tool. I haven't had the chance to use one but they can be expensive. If you have access to a MS SQL server, you could model your database there. SQL server enterprise admin has a diagramming tool.

The files that this application needs to use are many and somehow interrelated, but it's difficult to mentally keep track of them all. Part of the problem for me may be that some of the files are not normalized very well. So I guess I'm looking for a tool that allows me to plug in file names which, in turn, lists fields defined, and perhaps "click & drag" connectors that show relationships as I discover them. Does any of this make sense? FWIW, we're on v5r2 and using Win2k, CAE, WDSC.
