Default Chain saw chain sharpening

I'm using a chain saw more now. I got four or five chains, some
dull, and some unfindable. I have a Sears sharpener that has an
alignment jig. I have kind of gotten the hang of it, and it seems to
work pretty good. But, we're going to go up and cut some wood, and I
think if I can figger out the angles, a pocket hand file would be
infinitely easier to use in the field.
Any pointers, tips, or easy to follow sites?

What about a battery Dremel type sharpener?

I'm looking for quick and easy and portable.

A round chainsaw file of the proper diameter and a decent eye . It ain't
rocket science , and the angles aren't all that critical . I find frequent
"touch-up's" work better than letting it get really dull . Easier to
maintain the correct angle too .
