Whatever the means are of providing a new container. The MultiEdit 8.0 alternative implementation suggested is like what's used in Mozilla and XChat. It *also* does not scale. There should be no categories - or they should at the very least be possible to flatten - simply because user Joe does not necessarily know where developer Jim decided to put option XYZ. This Bug is really saying "having more than 4 tabs is bad" where I'm saying "having catagories is bad". See the difference? Spending a half hour looking for an option sucks, whether using tabs or some other way of presenting catagories. Jesper
